How to do Push Ups

Here are some great reasons why push-ups are great for you!

• They are a functional activity
  Much like squats, when you do a push-up you build muscle and help those muscles work more efficiently, while at the same time improving your flexibility, mobility and balance. This means you will prevent injuries by strengthening weak stabiliser muscles, connective tissue and ligaments, especially around the shoulders. This leads to a better quality of life, as your body will be able to move better.
• Your heart health will improve and you will burn more fat
  Push-ups are classified as a compound exercise, which means multiple muscle groups are required to do this exercise. The heart must work harder to deliver oxygen-rich blood to muscle tissue. which results in an effective cardiovascular exercise too, promoting heart health and the reduction of stored body fat.
• Improve your posture & bone strength
  Push-ups call upon your entire torso to stabilise you while you are doing this movement. Because of this, and the fact that it is a weight bearing exercise, your posture will dramatically improve and so will the strength of your bones!
