| Muscles worked:
| | Primary: Chest
Secondary: Shoulders, Triceps
| | Instructions:
|
- Lie on the floor, face down with hands placed at chest level, about 4-7 inches farther than shoulder-width apart.
- Keeping your back straight, push yourself up extending your arms, without locking your elbows.
- Hold for a brief second while flexing (squeezing together) your chest.
- Slowly lower yourself as far as you can, or until your nose touches the ground. Your back and hips should still be straight, while your elbows point out.
| | Don'ts:
|
- Don't allow your back to bend or arch. Keep your body as straight as possible.
- Don't just let your body fall back down to the floor. Resist your body's downward force by lowering yourself slowly.

| | Note:
|
- If you are unable to do this exercise with proper technique for the desired number of reps, refer to the Bent-knee version (Ex. #85).
