When is the right time to do push-ups?

Some male friends often do fitness. Although fitness helps to maintain their body shape, if the method is wrong and the exercise method is wrong, the effect will definitely be bad. Therefore, when doing push-ups, you must choose the right time to exercise. So when is the best time to do push-ups, and what is the most suitable time to exercise?

Push-ups primarily work the pectoralis major, deltoids, triceps, and trapezius muscles. It also has a certain strengthening effect on the intercostal muscles and abdominal muscles.

Generally speaking, the number of repetitions and sets varies depending on individual physique. I personally recommend 10-50 times per set, 3-8 sets is appropriate. Beginners can do 3 to 10 repetitions per set, depending on their ability, until they can no longer do it.

Push-ups are generally best done after 5pm and before 8pm. You can try it yourself. Doing push-ups around 7am will make you more tired, and the number of times you do them will not be many. If you do them in the afternoon or evening, the number of times will be relatively more, and the fatigue will not increase as quickly. In the morning, the blood temperature has not yet risen to the corresponding temperature, and the muscles and joints have not stretched, so it is easier to get injured.

Push-ups do not require any equipment and are practical and simple, but the effect is not as good as doing them with parallel bars. The time to do it is before meals and 30 minutes after meals. Start with 12 reps per set, and do 4-5 sets. Once you have a basic foundation, do 20 reps in each set and raise your feet to increase the difficulty.

In fact, it is good for male friends to do some push-ups, especially it can exercise the chest muscles well. At the same time, for push-ups, the effect of exercising in the afternoon is best, and the number of exercises also needs to be determined according to personal physique. When doing push-ups, you must pay attention to the exercise time.
