When is the best time to do push-ups?

Now more and more men have realized the importance of a healthy body, especially having muscles, which not only makes people look healthier and more beautiful, but also fully displays men's charm. Therefore, many people often exercise themselves by doing push-ups, because push-ups have fewer restrictions and can be done anytime and anywhere. So when is the best time to do push-ups?

It is best to do it in the afternoon before dinner. After a day of activities, the secretion is active, the body's ability to withstand stress is relatively high, and the remaining energy from lunch is consumed at the same time. Around 8pm is also a good choice. Moreover, warming up before exercise and stretching muscles after exercise are necessary, which can reduce muscle soreness, is beneficial to the body, and makes it easier to stick to it.

Push-ups are anaerobic exercises and should not be done in the morning. At that time, the body functions are not yet active, which is not conducive to the decomposition and transfer of metabolites. It may also cause sudden death for people with weak heart, including running too vigorously in the morning. Also, do not do strenuous exercises such as push-ups within one hour after a meal.

Physical exercise requires systematic and persistent training.

The so-called systematic training means exercising the whole body every day, including the legs, waist, chest, arms, etc., over a long period of time, such as 1 month or 3 months.

The so-called persistent training means persistence, which can be reflected in two aspects: one is that you need to persist in every exercise, and the other is to persist in exercise for a long time.

You can usually do indoor exercises such as push-ups and dumbbells in the morning and at noon, and be sure to stick to it. At the beginning you will feel uncomfortable all day long. Don’t worry, it is normal. Just keep exercising and you will feel better after a while.

Remember, if you want to exercise, it is not enough to just do push-ups, you need dumbbells, pull-up bars and other equipment. In addition, you should also pay attention to safety when exercising. It would be a good idea to buy some protective gear such as wrist guards and elbow guards.

For push-ups, the number should be controlled within 8 to 12 according to the requirements of muscle building. The pectoral muscles are divided into upper, middle, and lower parts; inner, middle, and outer parts.

Upper chest: Upward tilt (head high, feet low, body at 30-40 degrees to the ground)

Middle chest: lying flat (body parallel to the ground) Lower chest: tilted downward (head low, feet high, body at 30-40 degrees to the ground)

Inside the chest: Narrow grip (hands support the ground narrower than shoulders) to strengthen triceps training

Middle of chest: normal distance (hands supporting the ground equal to shoulders)

Outside of chest: Wide stance (hands support the ground with shoulder width)

One-day training plan: 3 to 4 sets of supine exercises, 8 to 12 times per set; 2 to 3 sets of incline exercises, 8 to 12 times per set; 2 to 3 sets of decline exercises, 8 to 12 times per set. Do not consider the support distance in the initial stage, use a constant distance. Do 3 to 4 sets of dumbbell (plastic bottles filled with water) flyes, 8 to 12 reps in each set.

By reading the text above, we can know that it is best to practice push-ups in the afternoon or before dinner. Exercising at this time can not only consume excess energy well, but also reduce muscle soreness. Of course, if you want to achieve a certain exercise effect through push-ups, you must do systematic training and persist in order to be effective.
