Push Ups

                                                                                                                                                                        Push ups are the most basic form of exercise that we start as we are growing up. The first push ups we do are when we are born and learn how to push up with our hands and look around and from there we advance to get on fours and start moving. The only thing about it is that when we learn how to walk we forget to go back to the most basics.

                                     Push ups are the best form of exercise for developing chest, arm and shoulder muscles. 

1. Muscles. Push-Ups help you build muscles. And muscles burn fat. And burning fat is good. Muscles also look sexy.

2. Lots of muscles. Instead of working one muscle out at a time, push-ups work-out lots of muscles. Don’t take my word for it. Do as many push-ups as you can today. See which muscles hurt tomorrow. I promise it will be more than one.

3. Free. Push-ups are intense. You don’t have to pay to use a gym or fancy equipment. It’s all you baby.

4. Anywhere. You can do push-ups virtually anywhere that has gravity. For comfort and safety, you might not do them anywhere, but you get the point.

There are many different levels of push ups and here are three of them (beginner, intermediate and advance).

1. Beginner. Hands shoulder apart and directly under the shoulders and knees 90 degree under the hips.

2. Intermediate. Just slide the knees back.

3. Advanced. Come up on your toes.

In all these forms the back is straight, neck neutral, take a deep breath as you go down and exhale as you come up. Do not hold your breath at any time
