Push-ups are one of the most fundamental bodyweight exercises, and they offer numerous benefits that go beyond just building upper body strength. In a recent article I contributed to LoseIt.com, How to Do the Perfect Push-Up, I dive into the key techniques and benefits of mastering this classic movement.
At AIM Athletic, we incorporate push-ups into both our small group training sessions and personal training programs because they are a versatile exercise that targets multiple muscle groups including your chest, shoulders, triceps, and core. These movements engage stabilizing muscles, improve body control, and help build functional strength, making them ideal for anyone, from beginners to seasoned athletes, or even those progressing through active rehabilitation for a shoulder injury.
Why Push-Ups Are Important:
Whether you're joining a group training class or working one-on-one with a trainer, incorporating push-ups into your routine can enhance your overall strength and help you move more efficiently.
You've got the information, now it's time to take AIM!
