Push ups

Lie on the floor with your face down and hold your torso at arms length. Your hands should be a little wider than shoulder width. Now, as you inhale, slowly lower your upper body until your chest almost touch the floor. Now, as you exhale, squeeze your chest and push yourself  up to the starting position.  This exercise involves mostly your chest but it also involves your triceps and your shoulders. The more closer your hands are the more your triceps and your shoulders are involved and the more wider you go the more you involve your chest. If you are a beginner you can do them on your knees and if you are more advanced you can lift your legs up on a bench or on a chair to add more resistance.
