How to perform it
- Lie on the floor face down and place your hands about 36 inches apart while holding your torso up at arms length. Move your feet up to a box or bench. This will be your starting position.
- Next, lower yourself downward until your chest almost touches the floor as you inhale.
- Now breathe out and press your upper body back up to the starting position while squeezing your chest.
- After a brief pause at the top contracted position, you can begin to lower yourself downward again for as many repetitions as needed.
Muscles worked
The Decline Push-Up primarily targets your Chest, with support from your Shoulders, Triceps. No equipment needed — train it anywhere.
Make it count toward your goal
Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Decline Push-Up slots into a plan built for your goal — sets and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
