Pushups are especially great for your chest, triceps, and entire core. Shapetapped Curtis Williams, Under Armour Performance Coach and founder of Team Training C.A.M.P. in New York City and push-up guru Angela Reynolds, for their top push-up rules.
Start from the Bottom
Beginning your push-up on the ground is a great way to ensure you’re doing the move correctly and building endurance through your core, says Williams. It helps you decide if you need to modify. Lay on the ground with legs locked and abs tight, then press off. If you can’t maintain a flat back, try a modified push-up or keep practicing to increase your strength.
Modify, Modify, Modify!
Sure, the move may seem simple enough when you watch a coach or instructor do one, but push-ups take a lot of work. Instead of risking injury, beginners should start with a modified version, on their knees or with hands on a wall, and work up to a regular push-up, says Reynolds.
