Push-ups are a classic bodyweight exercise that primarily builds strength in the chest, shoulders, and triceps while engaging the core. They improve upper body strength and endurance, promoting better posture and shoulder stability. This exercise is effective for developing functional fitness and can be performed anywhere.

How to do it

  1. Start in a plank position with hands shoulder-width apart and body straight.
  2. Lower your body by bending elbows until your chest nearly touches the floor.
  3. Push through your palms to extend your arms and return to the starting position.
