Pushup
Pushups are a classic bodyweight exercise that can quickly build upper body strength and core stability.

Step 1: Assume a classic pushup position with palms and feet on the floor and elbows extended.
Step 2: Bend your elbows to lower yourself close to the floor while keeping your back and legs straight, then push back up.
Step 3: This counts as 1 repetition. Try to do 3 sets of 10 repetitions, modifying as needed.
Modification: Place your knees on the floor to make pushups easier.
