Push-ups are a classic bodyweight exercise for the chest. It can be performed anywhere and requires no equipment. This variation is performed statically and is also known as the "isometric push-up".
Lie on your stomach on the floor. Stand on the tips of your toes and place your hands next to your body so that your upper arms are spread out at a 45° angle to your upper body. The thumbs point inwards and the forearms are positioned so that they are perpendicular to the floor (elbows are above your wrists). Maintain tension throughout your body.

Now push yourself a few centimetres off the floor and hold this position. Your body should be in one line from head to heels throughout the exercise.
3
Carry out the exercise until you have reached the specified time.
Tip
Maintain body tension throughout the exercise so that your body always stays in one line. Don't forget to breathe!
