I love pushups. Interestingly, when you do an image
search for pushups, you get a lot of bras, but that’s not what I’m talking
about. I decided to draw my own
pushup. Now you know why I am not
an artist.
Back to the point: pushups are great. I love exercises that do multiple
things at once because I am lazy and want to be done quickly. Pushups work the upper body and the
abdominals at the same time!
Even better, they don’t require
any equipment, so none of us has any excuse for not doing them.
How to do them? The basic version is this: lie on your belly on the floor. Sadly, there is more after that. Bend your arms and put your hands on
the floor under your shoulders.
Flex your feet so that the balls of your feet are on the floor. Hold your body straight from top of
your head to ankles. This is the
part where your abs get involved.
Push up from the floor until your arms are straight. Lower. Raise. Repeat
until you have had enough. Don’t
forget to breathe; it is easier if you breathe out as you press away from the
floor. Also, you don’t pass out.
I love pushups so much that I
will be writing more about variations in the future. For now, consider the basics.
