How to perform Push-Up With Feet Elevated

1. Use a stable plyo box or bench that will not shift as your foot support.
2. Place your palms on the floor about shoulder-width apart, then position your feet on the support.
3. Set a straight line through your shoulders, hips and legs rather than lifting your hips into a pike.
4. Bend your elbows back and outward to lower your chest toward the floor.
5. Press through your palms to straighten your elbows and lift your body without allowing the hips to sag.
