2

Pause at the bottom of the movement, making sure your chest is just above the floor, this is the "deep" part of the push-up.

Push your body back up to the starting position, maintaining the straight line and not letting your back sag.

4

Repeat these steps for the desired number of reps, ensuring to keep your core engaged throughout the exercise.

Pro Tip

Controlled Movement: Avoid rushing through the exercise. Lower your body in a slow, controlled manner until your chest touches the floor, and then push back up to the starting position. This ensures you are working the muscles properly and not relying on momentum. Full Range of Motion: To get the most out of deep push-ups, go through the full range of motion. Lower your body all the way down until your chest almost touches the floor and fully extend your arms when pushing back up. Half-push-ups won't engage your chest, shoulders, and triceps as effectively as full push-ups. Breathing Technique: Proper breathing
