Going slower as you’re heading down during a push-up is a great way to make sure those upper-body and core muscles are working harder. This extra effort also helps your fitness progress so you can do more reps or advance from a kneeling push-up to a standard one.
1 Begin in push-up position, hands firmly on the floor about shoulder width apart and back straight.
2 Slowly bend at the elbows so your chest lowers toward the floor. Try to go as slowly as you can—don’t rush—and if you feel shaky, don’t give up!
3 Lift yourself back up to starting position.
4 That’s one rep. Aim to do 10 to 15 reps (depending on your fitness level).
