HOW TO DO 20 High Push ups, No Knees

The problem with push up on your knees is it does not prepare you for full push ups.  Full push ups are more effective on toning abdominals, arms and chest.

So how do you build up to full push-ups?  Put yourself in the plank position, lower yourself to the floor while keeping your head in line with the spine.  If you can not push yourself back up, stay an inch or two off the floor, hold that position for as long as you can.  Drop to the ground.  Go back into the plank position and repeat as many times as you can.  Do this about three times a week.  Remember rest is important.  It takes 24-48 hours for your muscles to repair and get stronger.
