How to do Pushups
- 1
Begin by placing your arms directly underneath your shoulders. Your legs should be extended out straight behind you with the balls of your feet on the ground. This is your starting position.

Keeping your core tight and your glutes engaged, lower your body down until your chest almost touches the ground. Your body should remain straight and your elbows should stay in as much as possible as you perform this movement.

After a brief pause, slowly return to the starting position.
