Standard push-ups

"To complete a push-up, you need to use the muscles of your arms, chest, abdomen, buttocks and legs to cooperate closely with each other, and you can detect almost every part of your body." Steven Astor, a professor of physical education at Missouri Western State University, said. Relying on your own strength to support your own weight can reflect the functions of nerves and muscles most quickly and accurately.

A Support your body with your hands, your arms are perpendicular to the ground, and your legs are extended to the back of your body. Keep balance with your hands and toes, and keep your head, neck, back, hips and legs in a straight line. Action focus: keep the whole body straight and level.

B Bend your elbows to the outside of your body and lower your body to the floor. Tighten your abdomen, keep your body straight for one second, and then return to its original state.

Action focus: the whole body is straight, flat and flat.

Action difficulty: elbow flexion and straight push.

Correct methods of several common push-ups

General push-ups

This push-up is the most commonly used push-up. Hands are slightly wider than shoulders, feet are close together, waist and abdomen are tightened, then the center of gravity is lowered to the position where the chest is close to the ground 1 cm, and then the power of pectoralis major is concentrated to push up quickly.

Narrow push-ups

This narrow sense of push-ups is based on "ordinary push-ups". The distance between hands is shoulder width or shoulder width, and other postures are the same as "ordinary push-ups".

Wide push-ups

This kind of wide push-ups is based on "ordinary push-ups", the distance between hands is much wider than shoulders, and other postures are the same as "ordinary push-ups".

Left and right ups and downs

This kind of left and right ups and downs push-ups is based on "general push-ups", which uses the strength of pectoralis major to control the center of gravity of the body and make the body fluctuate left and right. When doing this push-up, you can first shift your body's center of gravity from left to right, and then from right to left.
