Learn The Correct Way To Do A Push Up

Learn How To Do A Push Up Properly

Thanks for coming back FlyFam, today you are going to learn the correct way to do a push up.

We are going to be working on the floor doing proper push ups so go ahead and grab yourself a comfortable mat. 

For all the beginners out there who aren’t familiar with how to do a proper push up let’s start with the basics and doing them from our knees. Go into a planking position with your knees on the mat and as close together as possible. Your hands should be directly under your shoulders and shoulder width apart.

Next, elevate your feet and with your back straight, lower your body to the mat. Bend at the elbows and lower your body all the way until your chest comes within inches of the mat and rise back up.

Repeat those push ups for as many as you can or at least 10 repetitions and do 3 total sets.

Now, for a more advanced push up, get into an extended plank position with your feet close together.

Your hands should be shoulder width apart and lower your body to as close to the mat as possible without laying on it so you get that stretch in your chest and drive it back up focusing on your tricep.

Do 10 repetitions or as many as you can do to start and do 3 sets. Progressively build on the number of repetitions and sets you can do each time on push up day.
