How to do it
- Place your hands about shoulder-width apart on the edge of a bench or another sturdy raised surface.
- Step your feet back until your body is straight from head to heels.
- Bend your elbows to lower your chest toward the edge, keeping elbows close to your body.
- Push back up until your arms are almost straight.
Beginner tip: Keep elbows close to your body; a higher surface makes it easier.
