Push-ups It is the most classic upper limb muscle exercise, and it is also the simplest and most natural movement for our human body. It can exercise our chest muscles, front deltoid muscles, and triceps brachii
In addition to the above muscles , because push-ups work against your own body weight, they are also a great choice for core stability and whole-body coordination training
At the same time, there are no restrictions on venues or equipment for push-up training, which is really convenient and practical
However, for many people, traditional push-ups may no longer satisfy them. At this time, we may need to increase some difficulty or intensity to better help us improve exercise benefits
Today I would like to introduce to you a good variation of push-ups: push-ups with elastic band support
As shown in the picture:
Do push-ups with both hands on the elastic band
The elasticity of the elastic band will produce many unstable factors, and our body needs to work harder to control balance and coordination in such an environment!
This can help us
Strengthen shoulder stability: Unstable factors will fully activate your shoulder stabilizing muscles to help you avoid shrugging and internal rotation of the shoulder. So improve your shoulder stability!
Core stability: Adding instability factors requires your trunk core muscles to work harder.Go to work to ensure spine stability and neutrality and power transmission!
The following is an analysis of the movements:
1. First, fix the position of the elastic band. The posture is the same as the traditional movement, and the hands are grasped with a slightly wider grip. Elastic band, put your feet firmly on the ground, keep your body straight and maintain stability!
2. Slowly bend your elbows and lower your torso. Until the upper arms are slightly lower than parallel, and keep the whole body tight!
3. Then pause for a moment, push your body upwards, and return to the starting position!
Pay attention to fighting shaking and jittering, try to keep your shoulders down, and avoid shrugging your shoulders and holding your chest. Pay attention to tightening your abdomen and buttocks, and remember not to slump or hunch your back
