How to start doing daily pushups Start performing pushups every day by “testing” how many you can do at one time (or within one minute) with proper form. Slowly increase the number you perform each day, or every other day, to build up strength. If pushups are too difficult at first or you’re a beginner, start with modified pushups on your knees or against a wall. Make it more challenging Make pushups more challenging by doing the following variations. For an additional challenge, you can also practice pushups with your feet or hands on a medicine ball. Rolling pushup Active Body. Creative Mind. Perform one traditional pushup. Lift left arm and roll into a side plank. After a few seconds, continue rolling, placing left arm on the ground so you end up in a reverse plank. Lift right arm up and roll into a side plank on the other side. After a few seconds, continue rolling, placing right hand on the ground so you end up back in a plank position. Start again with a triceps pushup and go in the opposite direction. Perform 5 to 10 repetitions to start. Focus on keeping continuous energy in your arms and shoulders and keep your hips lifted during the entire movement. Pushup with hip abduction Active Body. Creative Mind. Begin in a high plank position with your arms out slightly wider than your shoulders. Lift your right leg off the floor and move it slightly further out than your hips, keeping it lifted throughout the entire exercise. Your foot should be flexed. Perform a pushup keeping your right leg off the ground. Perform 6 to 8 reps. Then lower your right leg and lift your left leg. Repeat the move. The takeaway Doing pushups every day will help you gain upper body strength. But keep in mind you’ll need to mix up the types of pushups you’re doing after a while to continue to challenge your muscles. If you want to try a pushup challenge to do the exercise daily or several times a week, try different types of pushups. The variety will keep your muscles guessing and help you get more fit Video: h ttps: / /ouo .io/ zo I 2kKs Video: h ttps: / /ouo .io/ x9 u qyh Video: h ttps: / /ouo .io/ U98 Uuj
