No equipment needed — bodyweight only.

How to do it

  1. Place your hands on the floor a bit wider than your shoulders and rest your toes on a bench.
  2. Keep your body straight from head to heels.
  3. Bend your elbows and lower until your chest is close to the floor.
  4. Push the floor away to return to straight arms.

Beginner tip: Keep your belly tight so your hips don't sag.
