Push-up

The push-up is the most efficient upper-body exercise you can do between commits — no equipment, just your bodyweight and the floor. VibeFit's webcam coach checks your elbow depth and body line on every rep so the work actually counts.

How to do it

  1. 1Start in a plank with hands under your shoulders and a straight body line.
  2. 2Bend your elbows to lower your chest toward the floor.
  3. 3Press back up until your arms are straight, keeping your hips level.

Form cues

  • Keep a straight line from head to heels
  • Lower until your elbows reach about 90°
  • Brace your core so your hips don't sag
  • Keep elbows tucked at roughly 45° from your body

Common mistakes

  • Sagging or piking hips
  • Stopping short of real depth
  • Flaring elbows wide

Benefits

  • Builds chest, triceps, and shoulder strength
  • Reinforces core bracing and a neutral spine
  • Counteracts the rounded posture of long coding sessions

Anyone wanting a fast, equipment-free upper-body builder during a break.
