This is what push-ups do for muscle building, calorie consumption and health. As a bodyweight exercise (exercise with your own body weight), they can be easily performed anywhere and without any equipment.
The push-up primarily trains the muscles in the chest, arms and shoulders. The stomach, back and deep core muscles are important for the support function. Download the 6-week “Learn Push-ups” training plan for beginners here – free of charge! Click here for more information.
