pushup
Prone arm exercise
A pushup is an exercise performed by lying face down and pushing the body up and down with the arms while keeping the back straight: I do fifty pushups every morning.
The movement builds chest, shoulder, and arm strength.
As an adjective, pushup describes bras designed to lift and enhance cleavage: a pushup bra.
