WELCOME to my simple exercises beginners section. In this blog post I will show you simple way to learn press-ups. This article is going to be very useful for beginners because most of the people don't know how to do press-ups.
For this upperbody exercise you don't need any equipment. Bear in mind you have to warm up before every training.
Press-ups or also known as push-ups is One of the most popular body weight exercise for different people. Press-ups are very well know exercise for a lot different muscles. We have shoulders, arms, chest and whole back involved. There is a lots of different varieties of push-ups and today I'm going to show you the easiest way to master press-up.
Push-ups can be great warm up for advanced people.
Here are the rules you need to follow:
FIRST RULE - Keep your body paraler to the floor.
SECOND RULE - Work both arms equally
THIRD RULE - Keep your abs engaged all the time
FOURTH RULE - Use special handles for press-ups if you have inflexible wrists.
EVERYWHERE: gym, park, at home, anywhere you like.
Sometimes is very tempting to use your hips instead of upper body strength. Use your legs just as a upper body holder. It should not be included in push-up.
