Push-ups (俯卧撑) are arguably the most classic move in fitness-and for good reason. For one thing, a no-equipment exercise means you can break into a workout no matter where you are. And if you’re going to do just one move, push-ups are a good choice.
But here’s the thing: Push-ups aren’t quite as simple as they seem.
Once you’ve mastered three sets of ten, move to a lower surface, like a step platform. Again, aim for three sets of ten before moving on to your final goal: a standard floor push-up.

C.You’ll feel your arms getting more firm—that’s the right result. |
D.Mastering the full upper-body move is actually pretty advanced. |

G.Even if you can only do five, you’ll be noticeably stronger than when you started out. |
