Push Ups as Beginners…

You may often see your gym members hitting it off to a 50 or sometimes even a 100 push-ups. While on the other side, you aren’t even able to do one and live up to the levels of perfection, they are easily pushing away a 100. You may be thinking that they are lighter than you but look at that beefy and bulky man doing the same and then ask yourself if it is related to weight. Well, you do not need to be so upset about it as it takes a while to get used to doing push-ups especially if you have never ever done them before. The lack of ability to do push-ups shows that you have hardly exercised in your life. If you are also wondering if the push-ups you do will lead you to muscular arms, then you need to learn a few basics about doing them in the first place. While you are at it, do not worry if you cannot do many at once. Just be done with it and move on to the other fitness equipment that you got yourself through Grand Slam Fitness.

What are Push Ups?

Well, push-ups, going by the words is just pushing yourself up. While that may be relatable on so many levels in life, here we are talking just about your body weight. Push-ups mainly fall under strength building exercises and the incapacity to do them shows that you are hardly in shape. Worry not, because there are steps that you can take which will slowly but surely give you results. But before all of that, push-ups basically give your arms, back, shoulders and chest a very good workout. They may seem difficult to do but once you get going, you will be able to do about 50 push ups without any issues at a stretch.

Trial 1: Wall Push Ups

Before you start to run a marathon, you need to take the baby steps in training to get there. This concept is applicable in almost all aspects of life. Similarly, in push-ups, start doing wall push-ups by leaning towards the wall and pushing yourself away from the wall. This is the most basic one and you will find it quite easy.

Trail 2: Incline Push Ups

Now that you have got an approval from the wall, lean further against a bench in the park or maybe even a sturdy chair would be enough. Now push yourself against it and rise up. Keep at it till you get used to it.

Trial 3: Real Push Ups

Now is the time to put yourself on the floor and put in the strength of your arms and take the help of your shoulders and rise up. While doing so, make sure your arms are placed at equal distances and are spread wide enough. Start with sets of 5 reps and increase them gradually day by day depending on your capacity.
Go now! Push yourself Up!
