Incline Push Up

How to Perform Incline Push Up

1. 1
   Find yourself a weight bench, sturdy chair, or ledge. Place your palms flat onto the edge of the bench, your legs extended out behind you and your toes bent against the floor. Your arms should be extended out in front of you with your hands just about shoulder-width apart. Your body should form one straight line from your feet, up your spine, to your head.
2. 2
   Stay as stiff as possible, and then bend your elbows in a controlled motion to lower your chest down to the edge of the bench. Pause at the bottom and then push yourself back up to your original starting position.
3. 3
   This counts as one pushup.
4. 4
   Make sure not to let your hips raise up higher than your back, or have them sag down towards the ground. Try to keep the line of your body continuous.
