Don't miss out on the benefits of pushups, when done correctly they can be a very brutal form of exercise, pushups have been used for many,many years and they have stood the test of time.
Why ? Because they work, they have always worked and they will continue to work you will get great benefits doing pushups not to mention a total body workout .
The great thing about the pushups is that they can be done anywhere, anytime and there are so many variations that you will always be in for a challenge.
Pushups will work:
fingers
hands
forearms
biceps
triceps
shoulders
traps
upper back
lower back
abs
glutes
hamstrings
quads
calf
feet
You can do them anyway you like slow, fast, explosive. You can make pushups as hard or as easy as you want them to be.
If you don't think pushups are worth doing - try this simple test, get into a pushup position and hold the pushup position for five minutes and after one minute most people will know-that they are in for four more minutes of pain.
As a result... your body will start to shake, you will start to sweat, your body will want to collapse in a heap on the floor and then you will know that the pushup can be a very effective exercise.
So get down and start pushing floor.
