The Legnedary Push-Up

We have to admit, there is no such thing as a "perfect" exercise. Although the legendary "push-up" is as close to perfect as we'll ever get. The push-up doesn't require any equipment, it conditions several muscles at the same time and it can be done almost anywhere. Because it uses body weight as resistance, a push-up is considered a strength-building exercise, and strength exercises can improve muscle tone and bone density while reducing the risk of osteoporosis. The primary muscles that are used during a push-up are the chest, front shoulder and triceps muscles. However, because the push-up requires you to hold your body in a stable, horizontal position against gravity and hold it there at all times, you also engage your neck, core, hips and legs with each repetition. Although the push-up is a simple exercise, many people often do it incorrectly.
