Work out your triceps and increase your strength with the diamond push-up.
- Start in the plank position with your hands under your shoulders and your body in one straight line; separate your feet so they're about shoulder-width apart to help you stay balanced throughout the exercise. If you can't do a push-up this way, then just lower your knees to the floor.
- Place your hands together directly under your sternum, with the tips of your index fingers and thumbs touching. Your fingers and thumbs should form a diamond or triangle shape.
- As you inhale, bend your elbows out to the sides and lower your chest toward the floor. Then exhale to straighten your arms. This counts as one push-up.
- Complete as many push-ups as you can in one minute. To modify this move, do the push-ups on your knees and focus on form over reps.
