Exercise Summary

Exercise Description and Instruction:

Pushups are a compound, Body Weight Exercise that work your upper body and core. This variation of pushups is even more beneficial in Fat Loss Workouts because it uses a medicine ball, which forces you to engage your core muscles to keep balance.  Exercise Ball Pushups and Biased Pushups also work your core muscles.  

To Perform this Exercise:

Tips:

1. Keep your back straight throughout the exercise.
2. The width of your hand base determines where the emphasis is placed. A wider hand base focuses more on the outer portion of the chest whereas a close base focuses more on the triceps. See Tricep Pushups and Wide Chest Pushups.
