Raw push-ups
Starting Posture
Start in a plank position, with hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and feet together.
How to Exercise
Lower your body towards the ground while keeping your elbows close to your body. Push back up to the starting position.
Breath Control
Inhale as you lower your body towards the ground and exhale as you push back up.
Common errors

Weights

Grips
Standard push-up position
Variations
To make the exercise easier, you can perform push-ups on your knees. To make it more challenging, elevate your feet on a bench or add a clap at the top of each repetition.
