- PUSH
Whether you are a beginner or an advanced level athlete, this movement should be a part of everybody’s workout schedule to build cohesive body control and strength. The classic push-up requires no equipment and can be done anywhere. When done with control, it engages the triceps, shoulder, chest, abs and lower back. There are several advanced level variations of a typical push up for deeper core engagement.
Other good exercises in this category are:
– Shoulder Press / Arnold Press (a vertical push movement)
– Bench Press
– Dumbbell Press (even more effective when done on the floor)
– Car Pushes! (That is correct, pushing a car in neutral is a high intensity cardiovascular workout that will also give you strong, lean legs)
