Ever wondered how you sculpt the perfect chest and front of your shoulders at home? No worries, we are here to help! All you need for the Push (Up) Your Way to a Perfect Chest Challenge is yourself and a bench or elevated platform - you can even use a stair!

For the purposes of the challenge, we define the following:

  • Almost-There Push Up - Arms directly under shoulders, straight line from head to behind, core engaged and pulled in, utilizing knees
  • Push Up - The Classic Push Up - Arms directly under shoulders, straight line from head to behind to feet, core engaged and pulled in
  • Incline Push Up - Hands on elevated platform, arms directly under shoulders, straight line from head to behind to feet, core engaged and pulled in
  • Decline Push Up - Arms directly under shoulders, straight line from head to behind to feet, core engaged and pulled in, feet on elevated platform

This challenge was designed to be something that you do in addition to your normal workout (which is hopefully one of our workout plans!). We have 4, 6, and 12 week workout plans for all fitness levels!

If you can do a "Classic" Push Up, challenge yourself to replace the Almost-There Push Ups with regular Push Ups.

Note: Please do not begin any workout routine before consulting a physician to ensure you are healthy enough to exercise.
