Push-Up
(works the pectoralis, upper body)
Pushups are a terrific overall upper-body strengthening exercise that requires no equipment, and can be performed anywhere. They strengthen not only your chest, but your triceps, deltoids, biceps, back and abdominals as well. In fact, if you're short on time, two exercises that would give you the most "bang for your buck" are squats and pushups.
To perform the exercise, position your body with your hands on the floor, thumbs under chest, shoulders width apart. Knees should be approximately hip-width apart, and the body aligned strait from the head, to neck, to spine, to toes. Slowly lower your chest to the floor, then slowly raise back to starting position.
