Push-ups: A Scalable Tool for Structural Integrity
Push-ups are a decent exercise. While they won’t exactly “fix” anything, if done a certain way, they can be a useful tool for maintaining the bare minimum tensions needed to uphold some kind of structural integrity. Plus, they are very scalable.
Here’s one of the ways I suggest doing them:
- Heels out
- Arch the whole back
- Pull in the navel
- Squeeze the shoulder blades throughout the movement
- Wrists shoulder-width apart and as close to the hips as possible
- Elbows kept close to the body
Bonus: Use your knuckles instead of spread palms! More coming soon! 💪🏼
