How to do it
Look for a bar or surface that is at hip-height or higher.
Place your hands on it, leaning your body forward, and perform push-ups.
Try to keep your back and legs aligned, and make sure your elbows don't open out to the sides, but stay close to your trunk.
Adjust the height of the bar or surface to modify the difficulty; the higher the height, the easier it is.
