Push-ups are one of the main exercises among a group or personal programs in the gym. And at the same time one of the simplest. But many people forget that the body gets used to performing the same actions, which does not bring results if you do not change and increase the load.

Push-ups: what they give for health

During push-ups, functional strength increases through the activation of all muscles in the body. When you lower your body to the floor with your hands, you feel the tension envelop all the muscles in the body. At this time, the last thing you think about is how much muscle is currently being used. However, this is one of the main benefits of push-ups. When you exercise, every major muscle in your body is called upon to participate in this movement. Major muscle groups like biceps, triceps, anterior deltoids and lower body muscle groups are activated to support the body and stabilize movement. These movements use the strength of many muscle groups, and push-ups are classified as multidirectional exercise. With its help, the muscles of the whole body are trained.

Push-ups should be performed in three sets of fifteen repetitions, on average, three times a week. Once the body gives a sign that you can easily get that many repetitions, you can increase the number.

The classic push-up from the floor is performed from the starting position, lying down, after which you should lower yourself slowly and in a controlled manner, bending your arms at the elbow joint. The arms are at an angle of 45 degrees relative to the body. Lower yourself until your chest touches the floor and return to the starting position just as slowly and in a controlled manner. If the exercise is difficult, it should be performed from a position with the knees resting on the floor, keeping all the above requirements. When performed correctly, the exercise turns on the pectoralis major and minor, as well as the triceps and core muscles, which are in good shape.

Functional and strong abdominal muscles are not only aesthetic value in appearance, but also are the key to health. The abs are part of the core muscles, thanks to which the load is correctly distributed throughout the body, and also a healthy position of the pelvis and back is maintained. 

The press is a body stabilizer, which consists of four muscles: straight, internal oblique, external oblique, and transverse. Different exercises involve abdominal muscles in different ways and help maintain posture and a healthy spine.

The choice of exercises for the abdominal muscles depends on the goals and the condition of the subcutaneous fat and muscles. The relief is drawn when the thickness of the fat fold on the abdomen is less than 1.5 – 1 cm. But it is important to remember that the abdominal exercises pump exactly the muscles, they do not help to lose weight in the abdomen. There is a general rule that the stomach is cleaned only in the kitchen: you need to control what you eat, exclude junk food, and eat a sufficient amount of protein.

The most affordable option for everyone is to go in for sports after waking up and do abdominal exercises at home. The lack of available tools will not affect the effectiveness of the training. At home, exercises are suitable: classic plank, side plank, bicycle, twisting, scissors.

The abs can be pumped up as quickly as you are motivated to train, and what the body is capable of. With proper clean nutrition and regular training, the result appears within a few weeks.

Exercise as often as you can: It’s better to do a five-minute workout than nothing. Do each exercise 3-5 sets, repeating as many times as you can. Work until your muscles burn.
