Unlock the Power Within: How Simple Pushups Can Transform Your Strength – One Rep at a Time!

4. Standard Pushups (Toes!)

Once you’ve built strength and confidence, try the full version. It’s okay to start with just a few reps.

How to do standard push ups:

  1. Begin in a high plank: hands under shoulders, legs extended, feet hip-width apart.
  2. Engage your core, squeeze your legs, and maintain a straight line from head to heels.
  3. Inhale as you bend your elbows -either at a 45-degree angle or keep them close to your ribcage and lower your chest toward the floor. (I’m a fan of the tricep pushups lie I explain below.)
  4. Pause briefly at the bottom, then exhale and push back up.

Tip: Don’t rush! Fewer reps with full range and great form are better than fast, sloppy pushups.
