How to perform Incline Push-Up

  1. Place your hands shoulder-width apart on an elevated surface like a bench, box, or step.
  2. Step your feet back until your body forms a straight line from head to heels.
  3. Engage your core and lower your chest toward the elevated surface by bending your elbows.
  4. Keep your elbows at about a 45-degree angle from your body.
  5. Push through your palms to return to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of reps, maintaining a straight back throughout.

Use controlled movement and an appropriate variation for your current ability. Stop if an exercise causes sharp pain, and seek qualified guidance when needed.
