Push-ups

A push-ups is a common bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the muscles of the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core. It is an effective strength-training movement that can be performed anywhere without the need for equipment. Push-ups help improve upper body strength, stability, and endurance, making them a fundamental exercise in many fitness routines.

How to Perform a Push-Up:

• Starting Position: Begin in a plank position with your hands placed slightly wider than shoulder-width apart on the floor. Your feet should be together, and your body should form a straight line from your head to your heels.
• Engage Your Core: Tighten your core muscles to maintain a straight body line throughout the movement. Avoid letting your hips sag or your back arch.
• Lowering Phase: Slowly bend your elbows to lower your body toward the ground. Keep your elbows at about a 45-degree angle to your body as you lower yourself. Aim to bring your chest close to the floor without touching it.
• Pushing Back Up: Once you reach the lowest point, push through your hands to raise your body back to the starting position. Make sure to keep your core engaged and maintain proper body alignment.
• Repetition: Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, focusing on maintaining good form throughout.
