Push Ups with Elbows Close to Sides
This is a simple push up exercise.
Instructions

Bend elbows, keeping them close to your sides. Keeping abs firm, breathe in as you push down. Hold for 2 seconds, and exhale as you press back up.
Return to start position after each rep.
Recommended reps: 8-10 to start, and increase as you progress.
