Decline Push-up
Equipment
Ensure your body forms a straight line from your head to your heels, and your gaze is fixed on the floor to maintain a neutral neck position.
Lower your body towards the ground by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your body.
Push your body back up to the original position by extending your arms and using your chest and tricep muscles.
Repeat this movement for your desired number of repetitions, ensuring to maintain your body alignment throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
Core Engagement: Engage your core throughout the exercise. This not only helps to maintain proper form but also enhances the effectiveness of the workout. A common mistake is to let the lower back sag or hips rise too high, which can lead to back strain or injury. Controlled Motion: Perform the exercise with controlled motion. Lower your body towards the ground slowly and push back up to the starting position in a steady, controlled manner. Avoid rushing the movement or using momentum to push yourself up, as this can lead to poor form and potential injury. Proper Breathing: Remember to breathe correctly. Inhale
