Do Some Push Ups!!

With the help of push up stands, your basic push up is a great way to tone your biceps and chest. There are three levels of your basic push ups, beginner, intermediate and full. You will want to choose what level you fill most comfortable.

Here's how to perform a beginner's level push up. Place your knees and shins on the floor, straighten your back and in line your head with your back. Start by placing your hands underneath your shoulders, now grab the handles of your push up stands, extend your arms until they are straight. You are now in what the call the up position. Bend at your elbows, lowering your chest to the floor. Your goal here is to make a right angle with your arms. Keep your behind down trying to keep a straight line through you're back. Extend your arms now back up to the start position. With one push every two seconds try to keep a smooth rhythm. This is your beginner push up.

For an intermediate push up, you will just make a few minor changes. You will start by placing your knees on the floor, cross your feet, raise your feet upwards now, straighten your back and in line your head with your back. Now place your hands underneath your shoulders grabbing your push up stands, extend your arms until they are straight. Now as the same as the beginner push up, star lowering your chest to the floor. Make a right angle with your arms. You want to keep a straight line through your back avoiding raising your behind. Push up to the original starting position. As with the beginner push up you will want to keep a smooth rhythm, one push every two seconds.

To perform a full push, we will only be basically changing our feet and legs positioning. Start by placing your hands underneath your shoulders grabbing a hold of your push up stands. Now as before extend your arms until they are straight. Now extend your legs out fully with your toes touching the floor, back straight, head down and line with your back. You are now at the up position. Bend at the elbows lowering your chest to then floor. As before, you are aiming to keep those arms at a right angle. You will want to avoid arching your back and raising your behind leaving a straight line with your back. You will extend your arms again to the starting position and repeat the exercise with a smooth rhythm of a push up every two seconds.

With the help of push up stands, you can get a great work out for your upper body. It does not matter what level of push up you choose, stay with it and in no time you will see the result. As you progress, you will want to try to move up to the next level. Keep in mind, just because you may have mastered the full level push up, doesn't mean you need to be held back. Try increasing your repetitions or try increasing the frequency of using your push up stands.
