]]>It’s important to keep your body in a straight line from head to toe. This means keeping your core engaged and not letting your hips sag or pike up. Secondly, make sure your hands are placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your fingers are pointing forward. This will ensure that your elbows stay close to your body and your shoulders stay stable.
Another tip is to lower yourself down slowly and with control. This will engage your muscles more and help prevent injuries. It’s also important to fully extend your arms at the top of the push-up, so you’re not cheating yourself out of a full range of motion.
If you’re finding push-ups too difficult, start with modified push-ups, where you’re on your knees instead of your toes. As you get stronger, you can gradually work your way up to full push-ups.
Finally, remember to breathe! Inhale as you lower yourself down and exhale as you push yourself back up. This will help you maintain good form and get the most out of your push-ups.

]]>First and foremost, push-ups work multiple muscle groups at once. They primarily target the chest, shoulders, and triceps, but they also engage the core, back, and legs. This means you get a full-body workout in just one exercise.
Another benefit of push-ups is that they can improve your posture. By strengthening your chest and upper back muscles, push-ups can help you stand up taller and avoid slouching. This can not only improve your appearance but also reduce your risk of back pain.
Push-ups are also a great way to improve your cardiovascular fitness. Because they require you to lift your body weight repeatedly, they can get your heart rate up and improve your endurance over time.
Lastly, push-ups are a highly accessible exercise that can be done anywhere, anytime, without any equipment. This makes them perfect for people who are short on time or don’t have access to a gym.

]]>What you need to realize is that you’re not working out just for the sake of “finishing it”. You’re doing it because you want to achieve results, and this will only happen if you focus on the quality of your reps. In other words, you’ll get a lot further with three properly done push-ups than ten incorrect ones. Not only that, but ultimately you’ll find yourself improving your count as the days go by.
If you’re not sure if you’re going all the way down with your push-ups, the best thing to do would be to ask someone else. The best case scenario would be to ask a trainer to help you out, but if that’s not an option, a friend or family member would suffice almost just as well.

]]>Many people think that they know how to do squats, but they’ve been doing them wrong. To start, stand with your feet slightly wider than hip-width, with your toes pointed a little outward. Look straight ahead so your spine stays neutral and reach your arms out in front, parallel to the ground. Keep your weight in your feet and you lower down and lean forward slightly, keeping your chest up until you reach the point where you feel comfortable. As you rise back up, contract your glutes.
With a lunge, one foot should come forward while the other comes back and the front leg should be bent at a 90-degree angle. Your feet should be in line with your hips while the heel of your back foot is lifted. Then return to starting position and switch legs.
There are tons of things that can go wrong with a push-up including dropping your head and sinking your stomach to the floor. To do them correctly, start in a plank position with your hands shoulder-width apart. Slowly lower your whole body down to the floor and press up without your knees maintaining contact.

]]>Incline push-ups are great for beginners and those who can’t do the regular push-ups yet. They’re done by placing your hands on the wall, bench, or a bar instead of the ground, so that the movement is easier.
In a similar way, you can do push-ups by placing your hands on a medicine ball instead of the ground. This is a bit more difficult as you need to keep your balance while doing the exercise.
You don’t need any equipment to do this. Start with a traditional push-up position and, as you’re lowering your body towards the floor, bend one leg so that your knee gets close to your wrist. Imagine Spiderman climbing a wall—that’s the position you want. Straighten the leg as you’re getting up.

]]>Start your exercise with pushups. Do as many as you can. Just keep it nice and slow, no arching your back and no swinging.
When you’re done with your pushups, lay on your back and immediately, without any rest, start doing the flies. It’s good to do this leaned on the floor, because it limits the ranges and motions, so you don’t injure your shoulders. Do it nice and slow, and repeat it as many times as you can.
Last, but not least, do dumbbell press exercise. Do not use as much weight as you would normally use, because you are already exhausted from your pushups.

]]>Pushups can be performed easily at home — on a terrace or in your room. These exercises focus mainly on your chest and biceps muscles, and hence are a good way to keep biceps tough and growing. One can select different types of pushups like one leg pushups, bench pushups, one hand push-ups etc.
Lifting weights like grocery bags, suitcases or simply bricks at home can help to gain bicep muscle strength. For better results, make a routine of lifting weights regularly.
It is quite easy to find a spot at home where you can hang while doing chin ups. Do these regularly to develop good biceps and triceps.
