]]> While pushups may seem like a routine and easy exercise to perform, many people perform them wrong without even realizing it. As such, this can greatly curb the workout benefits you receive. Here are mistakes you need to avoid when doing pushups.

Not Completing Reps

Although many people like to push out as many reps as possible, this can often result in one not completing the entire pushup, thereby falling short of enjoying the workout’s full benefits. When you go down during the pushup, make sure to drop until your elbows are locked before pushing back up.

Raising Your Hips

Sometimes, as the reps wear on, you may become inclined to raise your hips as you attempt to cope with the added strain over time. This is a common mistake that is best avoided as raising your hips takes the tension off of your chest, which is one of the areas the workout is targeting. Be mindful of this going forward as you prioritize proper technique.

Stopping Early

When doing pushups, it’s essential to lower yourself almost all the way down, with your chest about one inch off the floor. This is actually the essential part of the movement due to being the most challenging. Make sure not to stop the movement early the next time you perform pushups.

]]> From conditioning your shoulders, chest, and triceps to boosting your stamina as you increase your reps, pushups are a well-rounded form of exercise. What’s more, no workout equipment is required to perform them. Here are three simple tips you need to follow in order to perfect your pushup form and derive the full benefit.

Don’t Raise Your Hips

As you start to fatigue, you may find that your core may start to dip. Some people will then lift their hips as a form of overcorrection. Do your best to brace your core and keep your hips in line with the rest of your body as pushups require to keep a flat line from your heels all the way up to your shoulders.

Go All The Way

Many people tend to not complete their pushups by lowering themselves down to an inch off the ground. This part of the movement is crucial, however, as this is the most difficult portion of the exercise that poses the biggest challenge to your chest. Make sure to complete your pushup to work your chest as much as possible.

Complete Your Reps

While some people may like to rush through their pushups, particularly when doing many reps, this can pose a problem as this might cause one to cut out part of the reps they are doing. Rather than rushing through reps, focus on form and ensure that you complete each rep in its entirety to derive the full benefit of the workout.

]]> Your chest and triceps might not be the first parts of your body that you want to strengthen, especially as leg day is way more fun. But upper body workouts actually help your good posture. Here are three exercises to improve your posture.

Push-Ups

A simple push-up is one of the best chest and tricep exercises you can do. If you’re a beginner you can start on your knees, and if you want more of a challenge you can use handles to go even deeper.

Start in a high plank position with your hands beneath your shoulders. Engage your core and bend your elbows to lower the body down in one long line from head to heels in one movement. When the upper arms are parallel to the floor, press straight back up to start. Do 10-15 reps.

Dumbell Chest Press

Another great chest and tricep exercise in one, you can do it on a mat on the floor or on a bench. If you want to work on the upper chest you can put the bench on a positive incline.

Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor, holding a dumbbell in each hand. Extend your arms straight up parallel to the chest with palms facing towards the bottom half of your body. With control bend your arms and lower them to your sides until your triceps touch the floor. Your elbows should be at a 45-degree angle. Then straighten your arms and return to the start position. Do 10 reps.

Tricep Dips

You don’t even need a gym for this exercise, just a chair or a coffee table and you are ready. Once you get stronger you can straighten the legs to make it harder.

Start seated in the chair and hold the front edges with both hands. Scoot your butt forward until it’s hovering just off the seat and your legs are 90 degrees and straighten the arms. This is your start position, then lower your body down until your elbows form 90-degree angles. Push through the back of your arms to press back to start. Do 10 reps.
