Push-Up Plus
Target Muscle
Secondary Muscles
Equipment
Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the floor, keeping your elbows tucked in close to your body.
Push your body back up to the starting position, fully extending your arms.
Once you've reached the top of the push-up, push even further by rounding your upper back upwards like a cat, this is the "plus" part of the exercise.
Lower your body back down to the starting position and repeat the exercise for your desired number of repetitions.
Pro Tip
Maintain Proper Form: Keep your body in a straight line from your head to your heels throughout the exercise. Avoid sagging your lower back or hiking your hips upward, which are common mistakes. Engage your core muscles to help maintain this alignment. Controlled Movements: Do not rush the exercise. Lower your body in a controlled manner until your chest almost touches the floor, then push back up to the starting position. Avoid jerky movements, as they can lead to injuries. Full Range of Motion: Make sure to go through the full range of motion. This means lowering your body all the way down and pushing all the way back up. Half push-ups do not provide the full benefit
