Desk/Chair Regular Pushups

directions to mirror video

Place both hands ‘shoulder width’ apart on a counter, steady chair or desk.

Place your feet further back ‘shoulder width’ apart keeping your body relatively straight.

Lower yourself to comfort by bending both arms.

Raise yourself back to the straight arm position.

Repeat for a total of 30 reps with rests as needed.

Be gentle: Don’t lock elbows-keep them slightly bend while in straight arm position. Avoid shoulder discomfort.

Alternative: Stand feet shoulder length distance from a wall. Perform pushup against the wall and progress later to counter, desk or chair.
