Traditional push-ups are great for strengthening the back, arm, and abdominal muscles. Unfortunately, they are also extremely difficult for many people.

Place both hands on the railings and keep both feet together or hip-width apart. While maintaining a straight body, slowly lower your chest toward the railing, keeping the crown of your head in line with your spine.
