Press Up Exercises

A simple exercise that can be performed anywhere, with no equipment, working the chest, core, triceps and shoulders, all at once.

Coaching points:

• Lie down on your front and place your hands by the side with your thumbs in line with your lower chest
• With your arms around 45 degrees from your body, push the floor away to full extend your arms
• Engage your glutes and your core to ensure your body moves as a unit i.e. hips and shoulders move up and down together
• Lower yourself in a controlled movement
