What I'll be performing here is the Regular Push Ups. Again, it's good to go back to just the basics here. What you want to do is make sure your hands are about shoulder width apart, keep good posture and once you're brought up or your knees down, unless your female then you could do with your knees down. What you want to want to do is control the weight, come in down and up. With this exercise, the good thing about it is that you are using your own body weight so it's easier than having additional weight to push. And you want to make sure that you control your posture and you want to do about three to four sets and eight to ten reps. The good thing about the push up, it works out the triceps, your back as well as your chest. And that's how you do the Push Up.
