Decline Pushups

The Essence of the Exercise:

Keep the abs braced and body in a straight line from toes (knees) to shoulders.

Place the hands on the floor slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.

Elevate your feet onto stairs or a bench.

Take 5 seconds to lower yourself down until you are 2 inches off the ground.

  • Push through your chest, shoulders and triceps to return to the start position.
  • Keep your body in a straight line at all times.
