How to do the Push-Up Wide

  1. 1

    With your hands wide apart, support your body on your toes and hands in a plank position. Your elbows should be extended and your body straight. Do not allow your hips to sag. This will be your starting position.

  2. 2

    To begin, allow the elbows to flex, lowering your chest to the floor as you inhale.

  3. 3

    Using your pectoral muscles, press your upper body back up to the starting position by extending the elbows. Exhale as you perform this step.

  4. 4

    After pausing at the contracted position, repeat the movement for the prescribed amount of repetitions.
