We've talked several times
about the benefits of push ups on this blog, so I want to talk about
a few awesome push up variations – these are great ways to get a
great upper body workout across your shoulders, biceps, and upper
back.
Spiderman Pushups
If you want to get your core
into the workout, you can try the Spiderman pushup variation. Get
into the regular push up position, and as you lower your body, bring
your right knee forward towards your right elbow. On the way up,
bring your leg back, and then repeat the motion with your left leg.
This brings a new element to the pushup that really crunches your abs
for a smooth, toned six pack.
Diamond Pushups
If you feel like your
shoulders aren't getting enough from a regular pushup, try a diamond
pushup by forming a diamond with your thumbs and index fingers on the
ground. This forces your body to work harder for balance, which
brings your shoulders, back, and ab muscles into the equation.
These push up exercises are
just a few ways you can really get the most out of your bodyweight
workouts.
