Push-Ups: The Ultimate Chest, Shoulder, and Triceps Exercise

Push-ups are a common exercise that targets the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core muscles. To perform a push-up, follow these steps:

1. Start in a plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your feet together.
2. Lower your body towards the ground by bending your elbows. Keep your body in a straight line from head to toe.
3. Pause when your chest is about an inch from the ground.
4. Push your body back up to the starting position by straightening your arms.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

To make push-ups easier, perform them on your knees or against a wall. To make push-ups harder, elevate your feet on a step or bench, or perform them with one arm or one leg.
