Aerobic Step Push-up Incline Instructions

  1. Place an aerobic step in front of you, ensuring it is stable and secure.
  2. Assume a push-up position with your hands on the step, shoulder-width apart.
  3. Extend your legs behind you, with your toes on the ground, forming a straight line from head to toe.
  4. Lower your body towards the step by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your sides.
  5. Continue lowering until your chest gently touches or comes close to the step.
  6. Push through your hands to extend your arms and return to the starting position.
  7. Repeat the exercise for the desired number of repetitions.

Aerobic Step Push-up Incline Tips

  1. Position the aerobic step at a height that challenges you but allows you to maintain proper form. Start by placing your hands shoulder-width apart on the step, fingers pointing forward.
  2. Engage your core and maintain a straight line from your head to your heels. This alignment is crucial for targeting your chest muscles effectively and preventing any strain on your lower back.
  3. As you lower your body towards the step, focus on keeping your elbows close to your sides. This will help you engage your chest muscles more intensely, maximizing the benefits of the exercise.
  4. Exhale as you push yourself back up to the starting position, fully extending your arms. This controlled movement allows you to work your chest muscles through their full range of motion, enhancing muscle activation and strength development.
  5. To challenge yourself further and progress your form, consider adding a resistance band around your back and hands. This additional resistance will intensify the exercise, stimulating further chest muscle growth and development.
