01 / Steps
How to do it
Utilize a bench, chair, or low bar.
Perform push-ups with your feet elevated.
This position adds shoulder work, one of the first preparatory exercises for the shoulders.
You may need to slightly arch your back in order to complete the full range of motion, so that your head does not touch the ground. Try to keep this arching minimal.
