Pushup Routines

Pushup Routines For Strength And Endurance

The mighty push up is perhaps the single most versatile and effective upper body exercise. A push up workout can be performed almost anywhere and most versions require no equipment. See videos below.

Used for decades in the military, pushup workouts can be used as a go-between for other exercises but stand quite well on their own. A good push up workout targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps, while simultaneously engaging the core muscles. Pushups are a staple in many popular fitness training programs.

Following a pushup workout program will allow you to improve muscular endurance and build strength. Push ups exercise is ideal for times when you can’t get to the gym or are away from home, so there’s no excuse to skip a workout.

Pushup workouts range from absolute beginner to very advanced, and there is always a way to make them more challenging. I personally use many push up routines in my personal training service, as they are a very powerful, yet practical, exercise.

Trainer’s Tip: Use proper form with your pushup workout program. This includes maintaining a tight core while keeping the shoulders down and the chest up. Always keep your neck in alignment with your spine by looking slightly forward.
