The correct way to do push-ups for women

Push-ups are not unfamiliar to many people. In life, many people like to do some sports exercises, among which push-ups are more common sports exercises. Moreover, for women, the amount of push-ups is still relatively appropriate. It’s just that the number of push-ups done by women is relatively less. However, we must pay attention to the correct exercise method. So what is the correct way for women to do push-ups?

1. Method 1

Bend over and support your body with your hands, keeping your hands slightly wider than your shoulders. Bend your arms until your chest almost touches the floor. Note: keep your arms close to your torso when bending your arms. Pause briefly when your body reaches the lowest point, then quickly push yourself up. Whether you are doing push-ups or push-ups, keep your body in a straight line. Because if any part of the body relaxes during the movement, the movement is equivalent to failure.

2. Method 2

Find a bench with adjustable height, support your hands on the bench, and do about 12 normal push-ups. After you get used to push-ups at this height, you can lower the height of the chair. If you cannot do 12 push-ups each time, adjust the height back to the previous cycle and continue to challenge yourself. Keep your hips and abdomen engaged and your head in the same position throughout.

3. Note

Keep your arms straight and place your palms just below your shoulders, slightly wider than shoulder width. The body from head to thighs must be in a straight line, and the core muscles must be used to prevent the body from falling. Squeeze your gluteal muscles to help stabilize your hips. The calves can be placed directly on the contact surface, or the legs can be crossed with the knees on the ground as shown in the attached picture. Just because you want a beautiful chest shape, you can't do push-ups crazily and ignore other training. If you train your chest muscles, you must also train your back muscles to avoid muscle imbalance.
