Push-Up Form Reminders

Hands—shoulder-width apart, in line with your sternum, placed directly below your shoulders (a wider placement will focus on your chest while a narrower placement will focus on your triceps)

Elbows—slightly tucked, at a forty-five-degree angle from your body

Shoulders—squeeze your shoulder blades together on the way down, drive them apart on the way up

Head—neutral, avoid bending at your neck to reach for the ground with your face

Core/glutes/quads—engaged and activated; you should feel your core contracting on the way up

Chest—aim for between your hands; you should feel your chest stretching on the way down and contracting on the way back up

Hips—slightly tucked in to prevent your lower back from sagging (squeeze those glutes!)

Feet and/or knees—shoulder-width apart (a wider placement will add more stability if needed, but try not to lose focus of your overall form)

Eyes—looking slightly forward instead of back toward your toes
