Get Started With Push-ups

December 27, 2022 By Dave DePew Leave a Comment

Push-ups are a classic exercise that targets the muscles of the chest, shoulders, and triceps. They are a simple and effective way to improve upper body strength and can be performed by people of all fitness levels.

To perform a push-up, start by getting into a plank position with your hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your feet together. Engage your core and lower your body down towards the ground, keeping your back straight and your elbows close to your sides. When your chest is just above the ground, pause for a moment before pushing through your hands to return to the starting position.

One of the benefits of push-ups is that they can be modified to fit your fitness level. If you’re a beginner, you can start by performing push-ups on your knees rather than your toes. As you become stronger, you can progress to performing push-ups on your toes. If you’re more advanced, you can incorporate variations like narrow grip push-ups or plyometric push-ups to increase the challenge.

In addition to strengthening your upper body, push-ups can also improve your overall stability and core strength. They require you to maintain a plank position, which engages your core and helps to improve your posture.

Overall, push-ups are a great exercise to add to your fitness routine. They are easy to perform and can be done anywhere, making them a convenient option for people with busy schedules. So, if you’re looking to improve your upper body strength and overall fitness, give push-ups a try!
