Men: Begin this test in the push-up position. Hands flat on floor under shoulders, fingers pointed forward, weight supported on the balls of the feet, and neck in line with spine.

Women: Use the modified position. Weight supported on knees with feet off the floor, body in straight line from knees to head.

Lower your body until chest touches floor and push up to start position. Keep your back straight. Do as many push ups as possible without resting or compromising good form.
