Bodyweight Elevated Push Up
Start by placing two plates or low boxes on the floor, about shoulder-width apart. Position yourself in a plank position with your hands on top of the boxes/plates, keeping your arms straight. Keep your feet together, with your toes resting on the floor. Engage your core and lower your body towards the floor by bending your arms, until your chest nearly touches the dumbbells. Push your body back up to the starting position, straightening your arms and engaging your chest, triceps and shoulders.
