The military-style push-up is a killer workout.

If your reason not to do push-ups is that your carpet needs to be vacuumed, you’ll need another excuse, because, you won’t be spending much time on the floor.

In fact, only the palms of your hands and the tips of your toes should be on the floor at all times.

Start with your elbows bent and shoulder blades pushed slightly together, straighten your legs and flex your feet.

Raise your body up, paying attention to keeping your abdomen muscles locked in tight. Focus your efforts on using your chest muscles and arms when doing push-ups.

Lower down about two inches to the floor without touching it. Do a set of 10 military-style push-ups.

Move your body until you are no longer on the chair. Raise and lower your body, using your triceps muscles.

You will definitely feel this.
