A push-up is a traditional calisthenics movement that starts in the prone position and progresses to the standing position. Push-ups work the pectoral muscles, triceps and anterior deltoids, as well as other deltoids, serratus anterior, coracobrachialis, and the midsection as a whole, by lifting and lowering the body with the knees. Push-ups are a simple movement that is widely used in civilian sports training and physical education, as well as military physical activity. They’re also used in the military, school sports and some martial arts disciplines as a means of punishment.
The pushup may be the ideal workout for increasing upper-body and core strength. It’s a compound workout that works the chest, shoulders, triceps, back, stomach, and even the legs when done correctly.
It has many modifications so beginners can start with easier versions and work up to the standard pushup, while you can find a challenging variation if you are advanced. You can do the pushup as part of a bodyweight exercise session, a circuit training workout, or a strength workout.
