Primal Essential Movement: Push-Up

The push-up is a great upper body pressing movement. No equipment needed to build muscle and strength!

Learn proper form and technique and how to progress from beginner to advanced.

From a plank position (straight, rigid line from feet to head), hands flat on the ground and shoulder width apart, arms extended and fingers pointed forward, lower your body until your chest (or nose) touches the ground. Keep your core and glutes tight and your spine and neck neutral.

Simplified Progression (consecutive reps needed to progress):

1. Knee pushups (male, 50; female, 30) 2. Incline pushups (male, 50; female, 25)

Movement Mastery:

male, 50 pushups; female, 20 pushups
