Exercise is all about biomechanics. It's about understanding the force, resistance, and axis of the levers in your body and using them to your best mechanical advantage; this means making your exercises as efficient as possible. You can't just change where your elbow bends to make bicep curls easier. You can however change your environment.
The first I would call Intermediate-Advanced.
1. Find a bench. Plant your hands on the edge the bench, fingers pointing away from you.
2. Walk your feet out so that your body is flat like a plank.
3. Push up as you normally would.
Try the second one if you are comfortable with your standard push up.
1. Find a step or low bench. Plant your toes on the top of the bench.
2. Walk your hands out to where they normally are for a push up.
3. Push up as you normally would.
In health,
Lauren
