Push-ups

As a father of 2 kids, I don't have much time for exercise. Thus, I love efficient exercises that work multiple areas at the same time. Push-ups are such an exercise. Although traditionally thought of as a chest (pec) exercise, they also work the back, shoulders, abdominals, arms, and sometimes the legs. This video is just a small sampling of a push-up progression. There are many more variations that can be performed, but these are some of the most useful. One I forgot to include is the wide stance push up, which is performed with the hands very far apart and isolates the pecs more than other variations.
To view the video go to our website via the link below and click on the 'Exercise Videos' link on the left side of the homepage.

Enjoy and stay active!
