Day 1

The push-up is a classic bodyweight exercise that targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps while also engaging the core muscles for stability. Performing 1 set of 3 reps of push-ups can be a great way to improve upper body strength and endurance. To execute a perfect push-up, start in a plank position with hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, engage your core, and lower your body until your chest nearly touches the floor. Then, explosively push yourself back up to the starting position. It's essential to maintain a straight line from head to heels throughout the movement to ensure proper form and maximum muscle engagement.

To maximize the effectiveness of your push-up workout, focus on maintaining proper form and control throughout each repetition. Additionally, pay attention to your breathing pattern, exhaling as you exert force and inhaling during the lowering phase. Gradually increasing the number of sets and reps as you progress will help to further enhance strength and endurance in the upper body. It's important to listen to your body and make adjustments as needed, ensuring a challenging workout while avoiding overexertion.

Day 2

The push-up is a classic bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps. By performing 4 reps in one set, you can focus on quality over quantity, ensuring proper form and muscle engagement. This lower rep range allows for maximum effort on each repetition, leading to increased strength and muscle development. To do a push-up, start in a plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Lower your body until your chest nearly touches the ground, then push back up to the starting position. Remember to keep your core engaged and maintain a straight line from head to heels throughout the movement.

To optimize your push-up workout, focus on controlled movement and full range of motion. If you find 4 reps too challenging, modify the exercise by performing push-ups on your knees or against an elevated surface. Gradually work your way up to performing full push-ups with proper form. As with any exercise, it's important to listen to your body and avoid overexertion. Over time, you can gradually increase the number of sets and reps to continue challenging your upper body strength.

Day 3

The push-up is a fundamental bodyweight exercise that activates multiple muscle groups, including the chest, triceps, and shoulders. Performing 5 sets of push-ups with 5 reps each not only helps in building upper body strength but also enhances muscular endurance. Remember to maintain proper form throughout the exercise, keeping your body in a straight line from head to heels. Engage your core and avoid sagging or piking at the hips. If standard push-ups feel too challenging, you can modify the exercise by performing them on your knees or against an elevated surface. Additionally, focus on controlled, full-range movements for optimal results. Push-ups are an excellent addition to any workout routine, offering a versatile and effective means of developing upper body strength and stability.

Remember to breathe steadily and keep your elbows close to your body as you lower and raise yourself. Gradually increasing the reps and sets will further enhance your upper body muscles and overall fitness.

Day 5

Push-ups are a classic bodyweight exercise that target the chest, shoulders, and triceps. Performing 1 set of 7 reps is a great way to build upper body strength and endurance. To maximize the effectiveness of the exercise, focus on maintaining proper form throughout each rep. Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels, engage your core, and lower your chest to the ground before pushing back up. If 7 reps feel challenging, start with a number that is manageable and gradually increase as you build strength. Remember to breathe consistently throughout the movement. Push-ups can be modified to suit different fitness levels, so beginners can start with incline push-ups to gradually progress to the standard form.

Ensure that your body forms a straight line from your head to your heels throughout the movement. For beginners, you can modify the exercise by performing push-ups on your knees. To increase the challenge, elevate your feet or perform explosive push-ups. Remember to engage your core and breathe steadily throughout the exercise.
