Evolution Of Push-Ups


I've been asked many times if I have one favorite exercise. My answer is NO, but if I had to pick my top 5 you can be certain that push-ups would be included!

Why should you include push-ups in your workout routine?
  1. The require zero equipment and can be performed pretty much anywhere (even your cubicle at work!).
  2. They're extremely versatile in that a simple change in hand position can make the movement easier or more difficult.
  3. Push-ups work your chest, shoulders, triceps and core.
If you need some ideas for getting started with push-ups, check out this video by Turbulence Training founder, Craig Ballantyne:




Remember to tuck your head when performing push-ups. You do not want to look forward as your neck should stay in-line with the rest of your spine.

Train hard; stay strong.

Peace.

    Actually push ups are very good and delivers good results for most of the regions that tend to gain weight after a certain age.If you can not do too many at a stretch you can start ding 5 on the first day and then slowly increasing the number and the strength of it.
