Sets: 2-3

Reps: 8-12

• Line up in a plank position at a wall or incline surface. Wall is the recommended starting position and decrease the incline from there as you get more comfortable.

• Inhale and expand the ribcage to prep for the movement.

• Exhale like you are blowing out through a straw and draw in your core. Exhale throughout the full push up.

• Inhale and reset at the top. Exhale, repeat.

• Aim to keep the core contraction through the full push up.

• Pinch your shoulder blades as you lower and push them away as you come back up.

Modifications:

• Decreasing the range of motion.

  • It is not recommended to progress to a more difficulty incline until you have mastered pressure management (no straining or pushing out) and a full range of motion push up.
