Push-ups from a floor — one of the main general exercises, it it is recommended to include in each training and to carry out regularly. It is useful for people at any age and at any physical training. There are many options of push-ups when, changing position of a body or using additional resources, you receive different result.

Push-ups from a floor

This exercise can be considered as the turned press lying. First of all are exposed to loading:

During work there is a stimulation of growth of muscles and the endurance of a body as the muscles supporting a backbone become stronger trains.

Whether you know? It is possible to be wrung out even standing on crude eggs! As Austrian Johann Schneider showed, having held on the whole 112 times.

For those who want to be wrung out and the nobility how many calories at the same time are burned, there is an answer: 1 calorie for once. But even this figure appears provided that you do exercise far not for the first time and very vigorously. So, having properly prepared, you can burn 100 calories for hundred push-ups.

Considering how many it is spent energy when performing exercise, it is possible to count an expense of calories by other principle. If push-ups trouble you, but you try to approach standard indicators, then they are set off as gymnastics with high loading. Consumption rate at such occupations is more than 600 calories. So that to dump the same 100 calories, it is necessary to be engaged on average ten minutes. Being wrung out in the mornings every day, you will raise a tone of a body and will create great base for maintenance of the skeleton as muscles around a backbone will quickly develop necessary strength, at the same time having become elastic. Norm for men up to 40 years the ability to be wrung out 30 times, after 40 — 20–25 times is considered. For women up to 30 years 12–16 push-ups are considered as norm. If the woman can be wrung out further 10 times, then she in great physical shape.

It is important! If you have cardiovascular or other diseases before actively being fond of any physical activity, it is necessary to consult with the doctor.

  4. On an exhalation you come back.

Slow rate of performance is allowed for beginners who are not able to operate the body vigorously yet. At regular performance the speed increases, and you already know how many it is necessary to be wrung out and in what optimum rhythm.

Important! The line of a body has to remain equal. No deflections in a waist should be, otherwise exercise will become not only useless, but also injury-causing.

Starting a training, do not forget about warm-up. It is necessary to warm muscles, to disperse blood and to enrich it with oxygen. It can be simple moves hands and legs, rotation of shoulders in different directions, "boxing", inclinations, an extension, the racetrack, etc.

Classical

Classical options of push-ups mean various ways of execution of exercise, practically without use of any stock. Further speaks how it is correct to learn and without injuries to carry out it.

With the wide successful fellow

Here well average pectoral muscles work; the load falling on a back is static and is very useful. Following technology:

  1. Emphasis from situation "lying" on the straightened hands.
  2. The head looks directly, is not lowered and not lifted up up (in order to avoid excess load of a backbone).
  3. Hands are placed more widely than shoulders, the belt is tightened and keeps in tension.

  1. Put emphasis (straight arms).
  2. Fingers of hands meet in the middle, under a breast.
  3. Fall slowly until the breast touches brushes.
  4. Fast, but not too sharp movement return a body to an initial position.
  5. Strain tricepses for several seconds.
  6. Continue exercise.

Complicated

The complicated push-ups are considered as more effective, than usual (basic). For strengthening of effect they are recommended to be alternated with each other. In this version the exercise can be carried out with various auxiliary devices — for example, with dumbbells, a bench, a chair, a ball, etc.

Especially this type of exercise is recommended to those whom wrists strongly hurt at usual push-ups. The main effort is the share of a humeral belt and pectoral muscles here.

Important! Being wrung out on fists, do not forget to spread a gymnastic rug or the fabric put in several layers under hands to avoid injuries.

In what supports and an emphasis are used belong to deep push-ups. There are several types of this exercise, and it is important to know how it is correct to do them:

  1. Option when the bench or a chair can serve as a support. Establish legs on the eminence and do exercise, touching by a floor breast. Consider that the pose has to be steady.
  2. Further, push-up between two supports. Hands lean on benches, and when performing exercise lower a breast as low as possible. In this option you are not limited to floor level.
  3. At last, emphasis. Put them slightly more widely than shoulders; being wrung out, you will hold handles. For the rest exercise is carried out, as usual. This option is chosen for preservation of wrists from overloads.

Important! Do not use an emphasis in the presence of problems with shoulder joints. Elbows should be taken away back further, than in usual execution that increases risk of a trauma.

We want to offer you several approximate schemes of a course of the push-ups directed to extension of muscles and to weight loss, issued in the form of tables.

Read how to increase the number of push-ups from a floor.

For accumulation of muscle bulk

It is possible to learn from this table how to be pumped up for several weeks. Especially this scheme is suitable for guys.

Week

Number of approaches and repetitions

1

You begin with 10-minute warm-up (extension, inclinations, moves). Then 3–4 approaches on 15 push-ups with broad setting of hands (for women also 10 will be enough).

2

You add to our program 3 more approaches till 12-15 of repetitions with narrow setting of hands. It is possible to add a weighting compound to a training, that is to place a backpack weighing 5 kg on a back and to do push-ups with hands wider than shoulders.

3

The same exercises, only weight of a backpack are +5 kg. It is also possible to add push-up on fists if physical training allows.

4

You add push-up on one hand and you increase backpack weight to 15 kg. Pay attention that such weighting is possible only for those who have no problems with a back and a backbone!

Being guided by this scheme, do not forget about individual contraindications and also that when following to any technique the system is important.

For endurance and weight loss

That the body became more hardy and tightened, we offer the following scheme of trainings: It is necessary to train at an interval of one day, carrying out for one occupation of all 5 sets in a row. The break between sets should not exceed 3 minutes.
