Push Ups

Choose a firm surface that you can press against (wall, counter top, back of couch, bed, stairs. floor). Use this progressive order to increase the difficulty to challenge your abilities.
Start with your hands wider than shoulder width apart. You want to position yourself far enough away with your hands and your feet so you can lower your body towards the surface with symmetry and control.
Your elbows should move towards your hands as you lower your chest towards the surface. Your body should remain in control –neutral alignment from head to toe.
Inhale as you lower your self down. Exhale as you push yourself up. Try to do 10 good push-ups before moving to the next progression.
