Correct breathing method and benefits of push-ups

I always like to do push-ups at home. What is the correct breathing method and benefits of push-ups? I know how to do the movements, but I feel that what I do is a little different from others. Gradually, I discovered that my breathing method is different from others. What is the correct breathing method? I haven't felt any changes in myself after doing it for a while, so I want to know about these two aspects. Ask your friends and you will know the answer immediately.

Generally speaking, there are two breathing methods: one is to inhale every time you lie prone (you must only use your nose), and exhale when you push yourself up (you can use your nose and mouth). Another way is to inhale and exhale once every two or three times. Make sure you don't feel any difficulty breathing. Note that you can only use one method at a time.

Push-ups are good for exercising the abdominal, back and chest muscles, and can be done in many different ways to achieve unexpected fitness results. 1. Change the distance between the two hands: the hands are slightly wider (or slightly narrower) than the shoulders, and the elbows are open and parallel to the ground. As long as your hands are not equal to shoulder width, the difficulty of push-ups will increase accordingly. The method that is slightly wider than the shoulder distance focuses more on training the arm and shoulder muscles; the method that is slightly narrower than the shoulder distance focuses more on training the chest and back muscles.

2. Changes in hand and foot techniques: Hand techniques can be divided into three forms: full palm support, fist support and finger support. In terms of direction, they can be divided into three support postures: fingertips forward, inward and outward. Full palm support means supporting the ground with the entire palm; fist support means supporting the ground with a clenched fist; finger support means supporting the ground with the first joint of the fingers. Finger support requires great strength and is the most difficult. There are two types of foot techniques: feet together or apart. You can also use the instep or arch of the foot to support the ground.

3. Changes in posture with body tilt: When doing high push-ups, the practitioner's body is with feet low and hands high, and hands and feet are not on the same horizontal plane. This posture is suitable for beginners and people with little strength. Medium push-ups, in which the practitioner's feet and hands are on the same level, are suitable for general exercisers. When practicing low-post push-ups, the practitioner's body is with feet high and hands low. The feet can be placed on a low stool or the edge of the bed, and the hands can be supported on the ground. The hands and feet are not in the same plane. This posture puts the weight of the whole body on the upper limbs, which requires a high level of physical fitness from the fitness enthusiast.

4. Changes in exercise frequency: You can combine fast and slow exercises, do it quickly a few times and then slowly a few times; you can also count at a fixed time to calculate the number of exercises per unit time; you can also simply count, and the practitioner does push-ups continuously until exhaustion. Changes in frequency can better stimulate muscle growth, and by using them crosswise, you will not feel tired easily during exercise.

The above is the answer to the correct breathing method and benefits of push-ups revealed to me by a friend. Doing push-ups really has many benefits. Most people like to do push-ups at night, but you must be careful not to do them right after a meal, as it will affect your stomach. You will not notice the effect of push-ups after a day or two of discomfort. Have confidence, you will notice it after persisting for a period of time.
