Suspended Push Up Instructions Find a sturdy suspension trainer or gymnastic rings and adjust them to hang about waist height. Grab the handles and walk your feet back until your body is at a 45-degree angle to the ground. Engage your core and lower your body down towards the ground, keeping your elbows close to your sides.

Grab the handles of the suspension trainer and lean forward until there is no slack in the bands. Beginning with your arms out in front, slowly lower yourself with your back flat, legs straight, and head looking forward until your arms reach your sides. Pause briefly then press out and raise yourself back to the starting position.

To do a Push Up With Your Hands in the Straps, stand facing away from the suspension trainer anchor point with a hand in each strap. Walk your feet back so your body is at an incline. The closer to parallel to the ground you get, the harder the move will be (the more of an incline the better off the beginner will be).

To do the Incline Suspension Trainer Push Up, hold a suspension trainer strap in each hand. You can hold the straps so your palms are facing each other or so that your thumbs are facing each other. Walk your feet back so your body is at an incline. The closer to parallel to the ground you get, the harder the move will be.
