· Hands approximately shoulder-width apart.

· Back, hips and legs in straight line (no back-sagging, camel-humping or butt-jutting).

· Lower yourself to three to five inches off ground.

· Don't brace feet against the wall (unless your can't do push-ups without this aid).

· If you can't do even one, start from your knees.

· Take two seconds pushing up, five seconds as you let yourself down. Hold the bottom position for two seconds. We bet you think you can do 20 push-ups. We bet that, using perfect form and the timing we recommend, you can do eight. Maybe.
