1) Get into push up position--your hands slightly wider and in line with your shoulders--with your body forming a straight line from your ankles to your shoulders. 2) Quickly lower yourself until your upper arms are lower than your elbows, then push yourself back up. 3) Once your arms are straight again, push your torso upward without moving any other part of your body. (You'll rise up another couple of inches.) Pause momentarily, then perform another push up. Do 10 repetitions.
