Table Height Push Ups
10 min
Incline pushups are the perfect compromise if you find that a standard pushup is too difficult or you have trouble easily getting down to the floor (and back up again). Incline pushups can allow you to progress from a simple "push away" from a nearly standing position using a wall and then moving to a table, countertop, or sturdy chair, and eventually to a low step or bench. Make sure your table is braced or secure so it doesn't slip out from under you!
Place feet shoulder width apart and hands under shoulders and same width as shoulders.
Leave part of each palm "hooked" over the table edge so your hands won't slip.
Body should be in straight line "plank" position from heels to shoulders.
Lower body towards table while maintaining plank posture until chest is close to table.
Keep core braced and strong as you press back out from table to preserve plank position and take excessive pressure off low back.
