Feet-elevated push-up

• The feet-elevated push-up is a challenging variation of the regular push-up that engages more muscles in the body and helps to build strength and stability.
• This exercise is great for those looking to step up their regular push-up routine.
• You can use a variety of objects to elevate your feet, such as a box, bench, or chair. The higher the elevation, the harder the exercise.
• It works the upper chest and front shoulders more than the regular push-up, making it harder than regular push-ups.
• You can make it harder still by progressively elevating your feet higher over time.
• Make sure to keep good form and adjust the elevation to ensure you’re getting the most out of your workout.
• With regular practice and progressive overload, you’ll be able to see results in no time.

1. Lie on the floor face down and place your hands about 36 inches apart from each other holding your torso up at arms length.
2. Place your toes on top of a flat bench. This will allow your body to be elevated. Note: The higher the elevation of the flat bench, the higher the resistance of the exercise is.
3. Lower yourself until your chest almost touches the floor as you inhale.
4. Using your pectoral muscles, press your upper body back up to the starting position and squeeze your chest. Breathe out as you perform this step.
5. After a second pause at the contracted position, repeat the movement for the prescribed amount of repetitions.

Variations: Another way to perform this exercise is to use an exercise ball to elevate your body instead of a flat bench. This adds a level of difficulty due to the instability provided.

The feet-elevated push-up is a challenging variation of the regular push-up. It requires you to elevate your feet, so your body is at an angle to the floor instead of parallel. This makes it tougher than regular push-ups but also puts more focus on your shoulder muscles.

Here are some warm-up

1. Start with a proper warm-up to prepare your body for the exercise.
2. Ensure that the surface you are performing the exercise on is stable and secure.
3. Position your hands shoulder-width apart and maintain a straight line from your head to your heels throughout the exercise.
4. Engage your core muscles to stabilize your body and prevent your lower back from sagging.
5. Lower yourself slowly and controlled, keeping your elbows tucked in close to your body.
6. Avoid locking out your elbows at the top of the movement to maintain tension in your muscles.
7. If using a flat bench, choose an appropriate elevation level based on your fitness level and gradually increase the height as you get stronger.
8. If using an exercise ball, be aware of the instability it provides and focus on maintaining balance and control.
9. Listen to your body and stop immediately if you experience any pain or discomfort.
10. Consult with a fitness professional if you are unsure about your form or if you have any pre-existing injuries or conditions.
