  • Incline push ups on the Total Gym can be a great exercise for building upper body strength and targeting the chest, shoulders, and arms. However, there are certain situations where it may be best to avoid this exercise.Firstly, if you have any shoulder or wrist injuries or pain, it is important to avoid incline push ups as they can put strain on these areas and worsen your condition. It is always best to consult with a doctor or physical therapist before attempting any new exercises if you have a pre-existing injury.Additionally, if you are a beginner or have limited upper body strength, it may be best to start with modified push ups on the Total Gym instead of incline push ups.
