Push Ups for Everyone

Push ups are a great exercise because they use your own weight to build strength. You can do them anywhere – whether you’re stuck at home with the kids or out on the road travelling – you don’t need a gym or any equipment.

And they strengthen and tone your whole body engaging muscles in your chest, hands, arms, shoulders, back, stomach, legs and feet – and probably a few other places as well.

But the classic push up everyone is familiar with is not an easy exercise to do correctly.

You have to build up to that.

Wth that in mind, fitness trainer Funk Roberts has created a push up challenge page to teach everyone to master the perfect push up without props or problems.

He has every stage of push up perfection covered from beginners who push against a wall to intermediate exercisers who use a modified form of push up (the knee push up) to a more advanced level ready for the perfect push up.

You just have to find the right place to start for you and not go too fast too soon.

Funk’s blog post lays out a push up training program to take you from beginner to 10 perfect push ups in 8 weeks. This should be possble but your results may vary :) In any case you’ll get there by progressing through the stages one at a time.

If you ever wanted to be able to show off perfect push-ups, Funk’s page is a great place to start.

    Push up is a great exercise to build muscles. I went through Funk’s blog and found that it’s an excellent blog to learn push up and become a pro within a couple of months.
