How to do push-ups correctly

We cannot live without exercise in our lives. Only an exercised body is the strongest, and only an exercised body is the healthiest.

So how to do push-ups correctly?

1. Form:

(1) From the perspective of body posture, it can be divided into three types: high posture, medium posture, and low posture.

1. High push-ups: This means that when doing the exercise, the practitioner's body posture is with feet low and hands high, and hands and feet are not on the same horizontal plane.

2. Medium push-ups: (also known as standard push-ups or horizontal push-ups) means that when doing the exercise, the practitioner's feet and hands are on the same horizontal plane.

3. Low-post push-ups: This refers to the exercise in which the practitioner's feet are high and hands are low, and the hands and feet are not on the same horizontal plane.

(ii) The distance between the hands can be divided into four types: super long, wide, medium, and narrow

1. Super long distance push-ups: mainly exercise the lateral pectoralis major and biceps. When the elbow angle is greater than 135 degrees, the biceps brachii are mainly used for force

2. Wide-grip push-ups: about 1.5 times shoulder width, mainly exercises the outer side of the pectoralis major, while developing the anterior deltoid and triceps

3. Middle-distance push-ups: slightly wider than shoulder width, mainly exercises the middle part of the pectoralis major (increases thickness), while developing the anterior deltoid and triceps

4. Narrow push-ups: smaller than shoulder width, place both hands in front of both nipples, mainly exercise the anterior deltoid and triceps, while developing the inner side of the pectoralis major (chest groove)

(iii) Based on the preparatory posture, different techniques and footwork can be divided.

Techniques: can be divided into three forms: full palm support, fist support and finger support. From the perspective of direction, the double support postures can be divided into three types: forward, inward, and outward.

1. Full palm style: a method of supporting the ground with the entire palm.

2. Fist style: a method of supporting the ground with a clenched fist.

3. Finger style: Use the first joint of your fingers to support the ground. It can be divided into five forms: five fingers, four fingers, three fingers (these three form a cone shape), two fingers and one finger supporting the ground.

Footwork: It can be divided into two types: feet together and open. According to the form of supporting the ground, the legs can be divided into three postures: toe posture, instep posture and arch posture.
