Incline Close Push-up
Muscles worked: Pectoralis Major, Triceps brachii, Front deltoids, Erector Spinae, Abs
Start: Find a fitness step, bench or sofa and place your palms flat, about shoulder-width apart. Walk your feet out behind you as far back as you can so that your hips drop down and your body forms a straight line from head to toe. Keep your elbows softly bent, not locked out. Look down, not up, and keep your chin tucked close to your neck.
Technique Tip: A lower platform will make this exercise more challenging; a higher platform will make it easier.
