So, you’ve tried a push-up and ended up face-planted on the floor? No worries—you’re not alone! Building up to a full push-up is a journey, and we’re here to get you from zero to hero in no time… okay, maybe a little time!
Step 1: Wall Push-Ups
Start by facing a wall and placing your hands shoulder-width apart. Lean in and push back out. Easy peasy. Do 3 sets of 10. When that feels like a breeze, move on!
Step 2: Incline Push-Ups
Find a sturdy surface like a bench or table. Hands shoulder-width apart again, lower your chest to the edge, and push back up. Aim for 3 sets of 8-10. You’re getting stronger!
Step 3: Knee Push-Ups
Now, on the floor. But don’t worry, we’re starting on the knees. Keep your body straight, lower yourself down, and push back up. Try for 3 sets of 6-8.
Step 4: The Full Push-Up
This is it! Start in a plank, core tight, and lower yourself with control. Push back up and celebrate! Aim for 3 sets of 5-8, and before you know it, you’ll be a push-up pro!
