Modified Pushup1. Begin on your hands and knees in a modified plank position. Your arms should be straight, with your shoulders above your wrists. Rest your knees on the ground (preferably with a towel or mat beneath them), legs together, with your feet suspended in the air. 2. Slowly bend your elbows and lower your chest to the floor while maintaining a straight line from the top of your head to your knees.3. Next, press upwards, engaging your chest and core.
One variation that changes up how the push-up affects your upper body muscles is the decline push-up. Begin by elevating your legs on a surface that's usually 12 to 20 inches off the floor and place your hands on the floor, slightly wider than shoulder-distance apart. From this angle, you then perform a classic push-up movement by bending and extending your elbows.
Declining Pushup
Shoulder Tap Push-upAnother variation is the shoulder tap push-up. For this exercise you’ll perform a normal push-up and then at the top, with your arms fully extended, lift your right hand and tap your left shoul-der. Place your hand back on the floor and do another push-up. Repeat this at the top with your other hand.
