Aerobic Step Push-up Incline Fingers Out Tips

  1. Position your aerobic step at a comfortable height, ensuring it provides a challenging yet manageable incline for your push-ups. Placing your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, with fingers pointing outwards, will engage your chest muscles more effectively.
  2. Before starting the exercise, engage your core by drawing your belly button towards your spine, creating a strong and stable foundation for your push-ups. This will not only protect your lower back but also help you maintain proper form throughout the movement.
  3. As you lower your body towards the step, keep your elbows at a 45-degree angle to your body, allowing your chest muscles to fully activate. Focus on a slow and controlled descent, feeling the stretch in your chest muscles as you go down.
  4. Push through your palms and extend your arms to return to the starting position, exhaling as you exert force. Visualize your chest muscles contracting and working hard to push your body back up, building strength and definition in your upper body.
  5. To maximize the engagement of your chest muscles, aim for a full range of motion. Lower your body until your chest is just above the step, feeling a deep stretch in your chest. Avoid locking your elbows at the top of the movement to keep tension on your chest muscles throughout the exercise.
