Ring Incline Push-Up

Ring Incline Push-Up

- A stable surface (optional, for placing feet if needed)

Positioning

1. Set Up the Rings: Adjust the gymnastic rings to a height that allows you to comfortably perform push-ups with your body inclined. The rings should be about waist height.
2. Grip the Rings: Stand facing the rings and grasp them with both hands. Your palms should be facing each other (neutral grip).
3. Position Your Body: Step back until your body is in a straight line from your head to your heels. Your feet should be a few steps behind the rings. If you're new to this exercise, you can place your feet on the floor or on an elevated surface for more support.

Movement

1. Lower Your Body: Bend your elbows and lower your chest towards the rings, keeping your body straight and core engaged. Ensure that your elbows are angled slightly backward, not flaring out to the sides.
2. Pause: As your chest approaches the rings, pause for a moment to maintain control.
3. Push Back Up: Press through your palms to lift your body back to the starting position. Keep your body straight and avoid sagging your hips.
4. Repeat: Perform the desired number of repetitions, aiming for 8-12 reps for 2-3 sets, depending on your fitness level.

Tips

- Maintain a strong core throughout the exercise to keep your body stable.
- Focus on controlling your movement rather than rushing through repetitions.
- If this is too challenging, consider lowering the angle by adjusting the height of the rings or performing the push-up with your feet on a stable surface (e.g., a bench).
