How to perform Bodyweight Incline Push Up with proper form

Starting Position

1. Hands: Place your hands on a bench or box slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
2. Feet: Step your feet back so your body forms a straight line from head to heels at an incline.
3. Body: Engage your core and keep your hips in line with your shoulders.

Movement

1. Lowering Phase:

   • Bend your elbows to lower your chest toward the edge of the bench.
   • Keep your elbows at roughly a 45-degree angle, pointing back.
   • Lower until your chest nearly touches the surface.

2. Raising Phase:

   • Press through your palms to push your body back up to the starting position.
   • Keep your back straight and core braced throughout.

Key Points

• The higher the surface, the easier the exercise; a lower surface makes it harder.
• Keep your body in one straight line, not sagging or piking at the hips.
• Progress toward floor push-ups by gradually lowering the surface height.
