What should people who do push-ups pay attention to?

Push-ups are an exercise we do frequently because of their casual timing, location, and ease of performance. However, everyone needs to pay attention to whether the movements are correct or not. In fact, according to a survey, most people's push-up movements are incorrect. In this case, everyone should pay attention to the incorrect push-up movements. Not only will they not bring health to our bodies, but in more serious cases, they will affect our health. Therefore, friends who often do push-ups should pay attention.

Weight-bearing exercises

The movement is the same as the chest expansion and shoulder squeeze, except that you place a heavy object, such as dumbbells, on your back. After your arm strength increases and your body movements become coordinated, the weight of the weights can be increased gradually.

Chest expansion

Use the palms of your hands as support points, open your arms as wide as your shoulders or wider than your shoulders, keep your back, waist and hips in a straight line, use your elbows to exert force, and bend your arms. This method mainly exercises the chest muscles, triceps in the upper arms and abdominal muscles.

Shoulder

The action is the same as above, except that the distance between the hands is narrower, and the fists are used as support points, with the knuckles facing forward. This method exercises arm strength and can increase wrist strength and fist hardness. When practicing, you should pay attention to the fact that the selected supporting surface can be soft at first and then hard, and your wrists should be kept taut when supporting to avoid sprains.

Inverted Pose

Beginners can do a handstand against a wall with their feet on the wall, their hands shoulder-width apart, their arms bent, and do push-downs. Later on, you can lift your feet off the wall to do push-ups. This method mainly trains the strength of the neck and arms. Pay attention to your body balance when practicing.

Use your fists or palms as a base of support. Place your hands on the ground and open your arms to shoulder width. Keep your toes on the ground and your hands and feet parallel. Push your head diagonally forward, use the forefoot, hands, neck, and waist together, and at the same time lower your waist and stick it to the ground. Then lift your hips, lower your waist, pull your body back, and the movement is complete. Just repeat the forward and backward movements repeatedly. This exercise focuses on the neck and strengthens the back muscles, wrists, and ankles. In fact, it is not about quantity but precision of exercise. If you exercise a lot but the movements are wrong, then there will be no effect. On the contrary, if we do the movements accurately, then we don’t need to do a lot of exercise to train our bodies.
