10 Min PUSH UP WORKOUT + TIPS | Beginner to Advanced

Wanting to progress in your push ups? This is an upper body and core workout to really help improve your push up game!

Once you are ready to support your body in plank on hands, you can begin on chairs and lowering height over time then to a box.

Once hands on floor, we will cover a slow eccentric first, this is an important factor in being able to perform the push ups.

This workout is quality over quantity! If you are familiar with push ups, use this an an opportunity to aim for chest just shy off the floor and full range.

The timer will be on for 30 seconds each exercise with 30 seconds rest in between to get ready for the next exercise.

Of course, bear in mind by the time you reach the more advanced movements you should be fatigued in the arms so remember it’s quality over quantity!

Also depending on what you have done day before can impact the explosive aspect in particular as I felt in the clapping!

See how far you can get and keep practicing! It takes time to progress but so worth it.. there are so many variations and progressions!

SLOW ECCENTRIC
STANDARD
STAGGERED (switch position half way)
WIDE
PIKE
TRICEP
DIAMOND
EXPLOSIVE
SKULL CRUSHER
CLAPPING

Please make sure you warm up thoroughly prior to beginning this workout!

I hope you learn something from this and remember..always have fun!

Did my 1st ever clapping pushup today!!! 👏🙌

2 years with Caroline, and I've gone from not being able to do 1 good standard pushup to being able to do this workout 40 seconds on 20 rest rather than 30/30, and today I did 3 clapping pushups!!!

You make push-ups look easy, this is one of the most difficult exercises for me. Thank you so much.

[rubatoxiss]

i can't even do one single push up, let alone a perfect knee push up :p, but i pushed through this (while taking a billion breaks :')) and i plan on doing this every day till i improve, so thanks!☺️

[stepha]

Trying to get my push ups to 20 unbroken this year so this is fantastic!!! Can’t wait to try☺️☺️

Just did this add on to Heat today. Detailed tutorial on push ups. Really a must watch especially for those of us that struggle with push ups. Caroline shows several progressions to improve. And true to Caroline, it's challenging. Let's go!!

It’s like u felt my heart ..i wanted to work on my pushups and here u r with this video thank u so much 💓😘😘

[jadeswonderland]

Thank you so much for this one! I have always had weakness in my arms (I had an eating disorder as a teenager and have had trouble putting on muscle here ever since) and so have made it a lockdown goal to work on push-ups a little bit every day to get strength here and eventually be able to do push-ups with my knees off the ground.

I find the lockdown restrictions really hard on my mental health and diet but your videos remind me that being healthy is about being strong! I feel so lucky to have found your channel your strength workouts - they've really saved me during this time <3

I’ve been practicing pushups these past 3 days and this vid arrives just in time. I bet you have been reading comments and noticing some of us couldn’t do push-ups well 😊. Thank you. I like your outfit and hairdo! Classy and gracefully😍

[poetgb]

I like the way you show a proper progression of push ups from beginners to more advanced. Your form is excellent. You do the push ups very strict. You are a very experienced and knowledgeable instructor. It's like taking exercise classes when watching your videos.

[ceftx]

I am so weak/bad at push ups. Ugh!. However...your videos, workouts and instruction just keep getting better and better!

[securityangel]

Used to be a gym addict & now I only go twice a week [for a decline run or swim]. Today my training-coach said he hopes to see me more often again. Not gonna happen! 😂 He also made compliment about how my triceps are popping out.
Never did push-ups until I started training with you 3 months ago. Today I managed to do everything except the clapping. Not fast enough. 😎 & yes, not a single push-ups on knees! Love your workouts, Caroline! & that wee wave at the end. 😍 I know I was the most focused when I wave back at the screen. 😂

[btrfliesva]

What a great tutorial. It’s also a great workout, something you could incorporate into your daily workout schedule. My goal is to someday do a clapping push-up. I’m definitely not there yet, but I could do a few skullcrusher push-ups and that’s major progress for me. Shoot, I could barely do a tricep push-up before I started working out with Caroline and now those are my favorites! I’ll definitely be saving this one and repeating it at least a few times a week.

[Jen-fkpg]

You are changing my life for the better! Thank you for being you!

[thyiff]

Wow, Caroline is determined to get us to perform push-ups off our knees!!! And so am I!! Challenge accepted. 💪 Will do this next upper body day.

[paulmartin]

This was fantastic! I amazed myself by not only managing each type but actually doing three clapping push ups, (never done a capping one before in my life). Definitely added to my Exercise playlist to do again and again.

[amandarozak]

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Caroline is a beast!! I mean that in a superhero way 🦸🏼‍♀️ 💪🏽 That was really challenging and I’m glad I pushed myself to at least try!!

[susanholl]

Ugh. I have a recent shoulder injury that I'm still doing physical therapy for. Still really struggling to regain my shoulder strength. Thanks for this video and forcing me to work on it. Best push-up tutorial ever made!

[roninespa]

Pike pushups are definitely hard for my shoulders and I've always had problems with diamond push ups. Pushing my limits again! Thank you!

[kaushikshandilya]

She gives a tough run to men as well while nailing those push ups 🔥.

[BertaCohaagen]

Push ups always were my nemesis. This year, I started to do them without knees, and i discovered that I love pikes!!!. Thanks, Caroline for this one and all the tips you gave us for to do push ups properly. 💪💪💪
