Push ups - strivica 1.9.1

Push-ups are fundamental exercises that target various upper body muscle groups, making them beneficial for individuals of all fitness levels. The program offers a range of training intensities without the need for special equipment. Participants can select the level that suits them best, aiming to improve their performance at the end of each level by testing their capacity with push-ups before progressing to the next workout stage, eventually reaching up to 100 push-ups.

It is worth noting that the world record for consecutive push-ups stands at an impressive 10,507 times.

Additionally, the app provides users with information on the estimated calories burned during each push-up session.

To ensure proper form during push-ups, follow these steps:

1. Begin by placing your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart on the ground.
2. If you experience wrist discomfort due to limited flexibility, consider using push-up handles or a bar to reduce strain on your wrists.
3. Position your feet in a comfortable and balanced manner, which may involve keeping them shoulder-width apart for many individuals.
4. Maintain a straight line from your head to heels throughout the exercise, avoiding excessive hip elevation or sagging during movement.
5. To achieve proper alignment, engage your glutes and tighten your core as if bracing for impact.
6. Your gaze should be slightly forward rather than directly downward.
7. Ensure your arms are fully extended and supporting your body weight at the top of each push-up to initiate the movement.
8. It is crucial to emphasize correct hand placement since many individuals tend to position their arms too wide, leading to improper shoulder alignment.
