Push-Up

What it is

This compound bodyweight exercise primarily targets your chest muscles. It also significantly engages your shoulders and triceps for a comprehensive upper body push. You will build strength and stability throughout your entire upper body with this foundational movement.

Technique tips

• Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels.
• Position your hands slightly wider than your shoulders.
• Lower your chest until it is just above the floor.
• Exhale as you press up, engaging your chest.
• Inhale as you control your descent downward.
• Avoid letting your hips sag or pike upward.

How to track your progress

Log reps, and add the extra load if you wear a belt or a vest. Straddly counts your bodyweight in the estimated max, so added weight and extra reps both show up as progress, and new records are flagged during the session.
