Can push-ups only exercise chest muscles? Do you practice push-ups at home? Is there any change? With the increasing work pressure of modern people, people can relax properly through exercise, but they seldom have time to go to the gym to exercise, so push-ups have become a necessary exercise method at home. Push-ups can not only exercise the chest muscles, but also exercise our upper limb muscles. Its main function is to improve the muscle strength of upper limbs, chest, back and abdomen. Different sports can exercise different muscles, such as abdominal muscles, arm muscles and leg muscles. This is a very healthy exercise.

The action of push-ups is also changeable, and different names have different action methods. Here are some common push-up positions. The first is the most common push-ups. The most important thing in push-ups is the starting position. We need to keep a straight line from head to toe. We should put our hands on both sides of our chest. The width of our hands is slightly wider than our shoulders. Then keep it for two or three seconds when taking off and landing, and pay attention to exhaling when ascending.

Secondly, let's introduce diamond push-ups, which literally means that the thumb and forefinger of both hands are opposite, so that the shape of the hand forms a diamond. It should be noted that when we do rhombic push-ups, we should not bow or collapse, otherwise it will cause different degrees of damage to our lumbar spine. At the same time, when we do diamond push-ups, the elbow position should not be scattered to the sides of the body, and we should try to lean to the sides of the body to avoid the loss.

Finally, a difficult push-up action is introduced. If you are a novice, be careful not to try it easily, that is, long-distance push-ups, which are mainly measured by exercising pectoralis major. The distance between hands is 0.5 times of 65438+ shoulder width. Always pay attention to whether your movements are deformed. There are also some difficult push-ups such as one hand.
