How to do push ups

Many time people thing that it is an easy and they can do it easily and can achieve it easily 

But fail to do so

And end up doing the simple thing in the wrong ways

In doing a simple push up it is also the same ways

It looks to be more simple but it is not so 

U can end up with a pain in your organ if you do it in a wrong way therefore here are some tips that you can use while you are performing the pushups.

·         When down on the ground, set your hands at a distance that is slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Depending on your strength and experience, your hands should be angled in a way that feels comfortable to you.  For me, my hands are set up so that my middle finger points straight up and away from me.  You can also turn your hands inwards slightly if it’s less stressful on your wrists, or you can do your pushups on your knuckles (as long as you’re on a semi-soft surface like grass or carpet.

·         

     Your feet should be set up in a way that feels right and comfortable to you. For some, that might be shoulder width apart. For others, it might be that the feet are touching.  Generally speaking, the wider apart your feet, the more stable you’ll be for your pushups.

·         Think of your body as one giant straight line – from the top of your head down through your heels. Your butt shouldn’t be sticking way up in the air or sagging.

·         If you have a problem getting the proper form with your body, try this (yes I’m serious): clench your butt, and then tighten your abs. Your core will be engaged, and your body should be in that straight line. If you’ve been doing pushups incorrectly, this might be a big change for you.

·         Your head should be looking slightly ahead of you, not straight down (yeah I know I’m looking straight down in my top picture, I hadn’t started yet!). I read somewhere that said “if you’re doing them right, your chin should be the first part of your head to touch the floor, not your nose.” Looking up helps you keep your body in line, but feel free to look down if that helps you concentrate more.

·         At the top of your push up, your arms should be straight and supporting your weight. You’re now ready to do a push up.

·         With your arms straight, butt clenched, and abs braced, steadily lower yourself until your elbows are at a 90 degree angle or smaller. Depending on your level of experience, age, and flexibility, 90 degrees might be the lowest you’re able to go. Personally, I like to go down until my chest (not my face), hits the floor.  That way, I know I’m going the same distance each and every time.

·         Try not to let your elbows go flying way out with each repetition. Keep them relatively close to your body, and keep note of when they start to fly out when you get tired.

·         Once your chest touches the floor (or your arms go down to a 90 degree angle), pause slightly and then explode back up until you’re back in the same position.

·         Congratulations, you just did a proper push up. Do as many as you can until you start to feel your form slip (even slightly); you are done for that set. Ten good pushups and 5 crappy ones are tough to quantify against eleven good pushups. If you can only do ten of something, write down your results and aim for 11 next times. Perfect form allows you to keep track of your improvements week over week.
