Incline push-ups on a box involve performing push-ups with hands elevated on a box. This variation targets the upper chest and shoulders more effectively, making it easier than standard push-ups for beginners or for those looking to focus on the upper body.

How to do it

  1. Place your hands shoulder-width apart on a box.
  2. Align your body from head to heels in a straight line.
  3. Lower your chest towards the box by bending your elbows.
  4. Push back up to the starting position.
  5. Repeat for the desired number of reps.
