How to Perform
1
Lie on the floor face down and place your hands about 36 inches apart from each other holding your torso up at arms length.
2
Place your toes on top of a flat bench. This will allow your body to be elevated. Note: The higher the elevation of the flat bench, the higher the resistance of the exercise is.
3
Lower yourself until your chest almost touches the floor as you inhale.
4
Using your pectoral muscles, press your upper body back up to the starting position and squeeze your chest. Breathe out as you perform this step.
5
After a second pause at the contracted position, repeat the movement for the prescribed amount of repetitions.
