Can girls lose weight by doing push-ups?

Push-ups are a popular fitness exercise nowadays. This is because push-ups are convenient, have good exercise effects, and most importantly, are not restricted by venues. People can do push-ups easily even at home. There are also many women who want to lose weight by doing push-ups. So, can doing push-ups really help you lose weight? This will be introduced below!

1. Can doing push-ups help you lose weight?

Simply doing push-ups is not very effective in losing weight, because push-ups are bodyweight exercises. If you want to lose weight, you should choose a combination of regular aerobic exercise and gym equipment training, and use push-ups to exercise core strength as an auxiliary. This will help consume subcutaneous fat and achieve weight loss.

2. How to arrange push-up exercises for weight loss

1. Dynamic warm-up (jogging in place, jumping jacks, etc.)

2. Push-ups, plank support, crunches (people who sit for a long time should pay special attention to abdominal muscle training)

3. Anaerobic strength training or HIIT training

4. Aerobic jogging or skipping and swimming.

5. Static stretching (stretching promotes the formation of beautiful muscle lines)

Can doing push-ups help you lose weight? Anaerobic training combined with aerobic training is the classic exercise model for weight loss. Push-ups are not part of any of these exercises, but doing push-ups before aerobic and anaerobic exercises can help improve core strength and achieve better training and weight loss results.

3. How to do push-ups

Push-ups are a relatively comprehensive form of exercise that mainly exercises the triceps, abdominal muscles, back muscles, pectoralis major and other muscle groups. Doing push-ups regularly can expand your shoulders, strengthen your upper arms, lower abdomen, and chest muscles, making your body more symmetrical and upright. In addition, doing push-ups for a long time can also enhance physical fitness, improve body immunity, regulate people's psychology, make people energetic, and make people happy physically and mentally.

When practicing push-ups, we should pay attention to gradual progress and not do too much at once. We should choose the appropriate amount of movements according to our physical condition and persist in it for a long time. Beginners can start with 10 repetitions per set, 3 sets a day. After the body adapts, each set can be increased to 15-20, 3-5 sets a day, and so on. In short, you must persist every day!
