The push-up develops the chest, shoulders, arms, and torso—making it a serious fat-burner that gets your whole upper-body in shape fast.

To complete this How-To you will need:

A clean flat floor surface
A step

Warning: Always consult a physician before attempting any exercise program.

Step 1: Lie face down

Lie face down on the floor.

Step 2: Place hands

Place your hands on either side of your chest, palms down, with your fingers wide and pointing forward.

Step 3: Position feet

Flex your foot so that your toes point toward your head and your heels are up in the air.

Step 4: Push off floor

Keeping your body in a straight line, push yourself off the floor until your arms are almost fully extended.

Tip: Flex your back, stomach, butt, and leg muscles to keep your torso in line—and make your push-ups a full-body workout.

Step 5: Lower body

Slowly lower your body until your chest almost touches the ground.

Tip: To make push-ups easier, leave your knees on the floor—to make them harder, put your feet up on a step.

Step 6: Repeat

Do push-ups until your arms are ready to give out. Fortunately, you're already on the floor, so relaxing is easy.
