Alternative names: Military push-up

Assume the typical push-up position: hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, legs together, balls of the feet on the floor.

Bend your elbows, slowly moving your body towards the ground. Aim to get within about 7-8cm from the floor.

Straighten your arms to return to the starting position, exhaling on effort.

- Keep your body straight and your thigh and abdominal muscles tight.

NOTE: You work different chest muscles depending on how far apart you place your arms, so vary this width every so often.
