3. Press Up
More upper body benefit comes from the press up, which works your arms as well as your core and back since you are effectively in a plank position.
If like us, your upper body is not quite up to a full press up, pop you knees down on the ground. Our trainer assured us that the position of your feet is not the most important thing but instead you should concentrate on your positioning and the overall quality of your press up.
It’s easy to let your back fall as you press up, but try to keep your back as straight as possible. When you lower your body down, try to get as close to the floor as you can – it’s better to do fewer press ups well, than many bad ones!
