Push ups is a common conditioning exercise, which is used to build upper body strength. Push ups primarily work the abdominals, deltoids, the pectoralis and the triceps.

Regular version:

Step1: Start on all fours with the hands on the floor slightly wider than, but in line with the shoulders

Step2: The body should form a straight line from the shoulders to the ankles

Step3: Squeeze the abs as tight as possible and keep them engaged

Step4: Lower the body until the chest nearly touches the floor, making sure that the elbows are tucked in close to the torso

Step5: Pause for a moment then push yourself back to the starting position

Modification version (for beginners):

Step1: Start with knees and palms on the floor, the elbows slightly wider from shoulders

Step2: The body should form a straight line from the shoulders to the knees

Step3: Squeeze the abs as tight as possible and keep them engaged

Step4: Lower the body until the chest nearly touches the floor, making sure that the elbows are tucked in close to the torso

Step5: Pause for a moment then push yourself back to the starting position
