How to do push-ups

We all know that doing push-ups can exercise the body and also make the body look good. You can lose fat in your arms and abdomen and build muscles in your arms and abdomen, which will make you look better. Many men like to do push-ups very much. They start doing push-ups when they do sports. Many girls also do push-ups when they lose weight. Let's take a look at the push-up postures.

Push-up position

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 Hand and Foot Techniques

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. Posture changes of 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 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. Low-post push-ups: When practicing, 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, doing it fast a few times and then slow a few times; you can also count at a fixed time and calculate the number of exercises per unit time; you can also just count and do push-ups continuously until you are exhausted. Changes in frequency can better stimulate muscle growth, and by using them crosswise, you will not feel tired easily during exercise.

The above is an introduction to the push-up posture, but you must persist in doing push-ups. Persistence in doing push-ups can make our bodies healthy and make our body curves more beautiful. You cannot do push-ups with incorrect postures. No matter how long you do it, there will be no effect. When doing push-ups for yourself, you must also understand your physical condition to avoid excessive fatigue.
