Push Ups

This is a basic exercise that works the entire chest area. Secondary stress is placed on the shoulders and triceps.






Lie face down on the floor. Place your hands palms down on each side of your body. Keeping your legs and torso in a straight line push yourself up and support your upper body on your arms.
Slowly lower yourself until your chest is about an inch from the floor. Hold this stretched position for a second. Push yourself back up to the starting position. Repeat.
This is a good exercise to use either as a warm up to your chest exercises or as a finishing exercise to really pump up your chest.
