Incline Push-Up

Muscles Worked

Front

Back

Primary: lower chest, triceps, anterior deltoid

How to do it

Place hands on an elevated surface (counter, bench, or step) and body in a diagonal plank. Lower your chest to the surface then push back up. Easier than a floor push-up — great for beginners or as a warmup.

Form Tips

Keep body straight from head to heels. Lower the surface height to progressively increase difficulty.
