Push-up Fingers Out Instructions

  1. Start in a high plank position with your hands directly under your shoulders and your fingers spread wide apart.
  2. Engage your core and keep your body in a straight line from head to heels.
  3. Lower your body by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your sides, until your chest is just above the ground.
  4. Push through your palms and straighten your arms to return to the starting position.
  5. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Push-up Fingers Out Tips

  1. Start with proper hand placement by positioning your fingers slightly wider than shoulder-width apart to engage your chest muscles effectively.
  2. Keep your body in a straight line from head to toe, engaging your core muscles to maintain stability throughout the exercise.
  3. Lower your body by bending your elbows, ensuring they form a 90-degree angle, while keeping your chest forward and avoiding sagging hips.
  4. Push through your palms and extend your arms fully to return to the starting position, focusing on contracting your chest muscles as you push up.
  5. Breathe in as you lower your body and exhale as you push up, maintaining a steady and controlled breathing pattern throughout the exercise.
  6. Perform push-ups on a stable surface, such as a mat or the floor, to allow for full range of motion and better engagement of your chest muscles.
  7. Gradually increase the number of repetitions and sets as you build strength, ensuring proper form and technique for maximum chest activation.
