-Place your feet on a elevated surface

-Place your hands shoulder width apart slightly below your shoulders, fingers facing 45 degrees outward

-Protract and depress your shoulders (move them forward and away from your ears)

-Engage your core and glutes and keep your lower bad straight

-Lean forward to a position where you can still maintain the shoulder position, with arms locked and body aligned

-Lower your body by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your sides

-As you descend try your best to maintain the shoulder position (depressed and protracted) along with your lean angle

-Lower until your chest nearly touches the ground

-As you push back up, try your best to maintain the same lean throughout the whole push, return to the starting position with protracted and depressed shoulders

-To make the pushup harder you can increase the height of the decline and/or increase your lean angle
