3 DIFFERENT TYPES OF PUSH-UPS YOU SHOULD TRY

Push-ups are a classic exercise that have stood the test of time for good reason. They engage multiple muscle groups, improve upper body strength, and require no equipment.

However, performing the same standard push-up day in and day out can become monotonous. To spice up your workout routine and challenge your muscles in new ways, here are three different types of push-ups you should try.

Incline push-ups:

• Incline push-ups can be performed on the bench or wall.
• You have to place your hands on the box or on the bench or on the wall.
• Your feet should be firmly planted on the floor. This will ensure that you are in a tilted position.
• Next, you have to lower your chest with the help of your elbows to complete the flexion.

Dumbbell Floor Press:

• To perform this exercise, you must be sitting on the floor.
• The dumbbell should be between your legs.
• You have to lift the weights in your lap and you have to carry them against your chest.
• You have to continue doing this until you are lying on the floor with your knees bent.
• From then on, you have to try to lift the dumbbells above your chest.
• You must ensure that the palms of your hands are facing your feet at all times.
• After that, you have to lower the dumbbells until they touch the floor.

Planks:

• The plank is one of the easiest exercises to develop core strength.
• You have to touch your feet on the floor and your arms directly under your shoulders.
• Next, you have to lower your body to the position where it is just above the ground.
• You have to stay in that position for at least 30 seconds.
• Ideally, when you are in the plank position, your back is completely straight.
• This will help you develop your core strength over a longer period of time.
