How to perform?

Wide stance push-ups are a variation of the classic push-up exercise that focus on working the chest, shoulders, and triceps with an emphasis on stability and core strength. Unlike traditional push-ups, this variation requires a wider hand placement, which increases the range of motion and demands more strength and control through the torso. This exercise also engages the glutes and lower back muscles to maintain a straight spine, leading to improved posture and overall body stability. The added challenge of a wider stance makes this exercise a great way to add variety to your workout routine and build functional strength.
