Which parts of the human body are mainly exercised by doing push-ups regularly?

In order to have sexy and strong pectoral muscles, many male friends often choose to do push-ups indoors. Doing push-ups frequently can not only enhance men's physique, but also effectively prevent you from some diseases. However, many people don’t know very well what push-ups mainly exercise. Let me explain in detail the benefits of doing push-ups frequently.

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. Changes in the distance between the two hands:

Place your hands slightly wider (or narrower) than your shoulders, with your elbows 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 techniques and footwork:

The techniques can be divided into three forms: full palm support, fist support and finger support. From the direction, they can be divided into three types of 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 body tilt posture:

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 level. 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.

Doing push-ups regularly can enhance a person's upper limb strength, increase a person's physical fitness and also improve a person's immunity.
