The Press Up (or push up) is a great to tone up and strengthen the neck, upper body and abdominal muscles. Place the hands a little wider than shoulder width on the floor and place your feet shoulder width apart. Note that your elbows should never be placed higher than your elbows as this would compress nerve structures in the shoulder. Pull the belly button into the spine and keep the chin tucked and retracted. Slowly lower your body symmetrically towards the floor then press back up. Your whole body should stay in one straight line. Exhale on the upward motion or push off phase of the exercise. Common faults would be dropping the head to the floor or dropping the trunk of the body. These imply weakness in the neck and core muscles.
