Step by step

1. Start in a high plank, hands a little wider than your shoulders.
2. Lower yourself as slowly as you can, counting to four.
3. At the bottom, drop your knees and push back up any way you can.
4. Return to the plank and repeat.

Tip: Lowering is where you build the strength for a full push-up. Slow and steady beats many.

Go easy: Hands flat under your shoulders, body in one line; wall push-ups if your wrists complain.
