Pump Your Push-Ups: Fixing 3 Common Mistakes



Push-ups are excellent to build upper body strength as you engage multiple muscle groups in your body with this single exercise but it can turn into a nightmare if the correct posture is not followed. You can crank push-ups anywhere, anytime, as they do not need any equipment but this exercise can cause serious injury if you do not focus on your posture. If you are a beginner, we advise you to perform this exercise under expert guidance. "A common misconception about push-ups is that it just focuses on the chest muscles. If push-ups are done correctly, they not only improve your shoulder, arms and chest muscles but also your abdominal and back muscles," says Ashish Gupta, Director and Fitness Expert at Gold's Gym, Gurugram.
