Step-by-step instructions

1Lie on the floor face down and place your hands about 36 inches apart from each other holding your torso up at arms length.
2Place your toes on top of a flat bench. This will allow your body to be elevated. Note: The higher the elevation of the flat bench, the higher the resistance of the exercise is.
3Lower yourself until your chest almost touches the floor as you inhale.
4Using your pectoral muscles, press your upper body back up to the starting position and squeeze your chest. Breathe out as you perform this step.
5After a second pause at the contracted position, repeat the movement for the prescribed amount of repetitions.
