About Push-Ups
Push-ups are the most fundamental upper body bodyweight exercise, performed by lowering and raising the body using arm strength while maintaining a rigid plank position. They effectively target the chest, shoulders, and triceps while demanding continuous core engagement. Push-ups can be modified for any fitness level, from knee push-ups for beginners to plyometric or one-arm variations for advanced athletes. Research shows that being able to do 40+ push-ups correlates with significantly lower cardiovascular disease risk.
