Push ups are an excellent exercise to help build up your chest muscles.  To do this exercise, start out flat on the ground face down with toes on the floor pointed down. Place hands next to shoulders on the floor. Elbows are bent. The movement to do a push up is to raise the body off of the ground by pushing into the floor with the arms from the chest muscles. The body should be straight like a board. When lowering the body, the face should almost touch the floor. Doing 10 push ups the first time should be a good start. Eventually within a month, this may be increased to 20. In future months, it should be possible to do additional sets of push up exercises.
