Push-ups are simple exercises but bring comprehensive effects to the body, especially chest, shoulder and forehead muscles. When performed correctly, this exercise not only affects the upper body but also activates the abdominal, hip and leg muscles.
The important point of push-ups lies in the tension of the whole body. Keep both hands firm, shoulders aligned and the body forming a straight line from head to heel. Maintaining this posture helps improve strength, support the posture and increase stability for the joints.
When increasing the number of repetitions, the control factor still needs to be prioritized. Lowering slowly, pushing up decisively and keeping the rhythm steady helps optimize training efficiency. The coordination between the upper body and abdominal muscles will help you maintain endurance throughout the training process.
A standard posture from the beginning is an important foundation. When the body is placed in the right position, each push-up will become more effective and safe.
Place both hands on the floor, slightly wider than your shoulders. Extend both legs straight behind you, keeping your body straight.
Contract your abdominal muscles and tighten your buttocks. Lower your chest to the floor in a controlled way. Use your hand to push your body back to the starting position. Repeat at a steady pace, not stopping suddenly.
