It adds extra movement to make your shoulders stronger and more stable.

This exercise mainly works your chest, shoulders, and the back of your upper arms (triceps).

It's a really useful exercise for any workout that focuses on building strength.

Doing Push-Up Pluses will make your upper body stronger and better for everyday tasks.

It's a good exercise for all fitness levels, from beginners to experienced athletes.

You can change how hard the exercise is to match your fitness level.

It helps your shoulders get stronger and more stable. The wider movement makes the muscles around your shoulder joint work harder, preventing injuries.

It makes your chest muscles work more. This helps them grow bigger and stronger.

It also works your core muscles (your stomach and back). Keeping your body straight during the exercise strengthens these important muscles.

It's easy to change to make it easier or harder. Beginners can do it on their knees, while more advanced people can add weight or do more reps.

Go Down: Slowly bend your elbows, keeping them pointing slightly outwards (like a 45-degree angle). Lower your chest towards the floor. Don't let your hips sag; keep your body in a straight line.

Push Back Up: Straighten your arms to return to the starting plank position. Make sure to push yourself all the way up so your arms are fully extended.

The 'Plus': Once you're back up in the plank, gently push your shoulders forward a little. At the same time, squeeze your shoulder blades together. This is the extra part that makes it a 'Push-Up Plus'.

Repeat: Do this up and down movement as many times as you want to exercise. Remember to keep your body straight and controlled throughout the whole exercise.

Important Tip: Control is key! Going too fast or letting your hips drop can hurt you. Focus on doing each part of the movement slowly and carefully.

Pike Push-Ups: These work your shoulders and upper chest a lot. You start like a downward-facing dog, which helps make your shoulders stronger and more flexible.

Chest Tap Push-Ups: This one is harder because you have to touch your shoulder with one hand while doing a push-up. It's good for your chest, shoulders, and triceps, and it helps with balance.

Modified Hindu Push-Ups: This is a flowing movement that makes you stronger and more flexible. It works your chest, shoulders, and core muscles in a different way than regular push-ups.

These exercises all use similar muscles, but they move your body in different ways. This helps keep your workouts interesting and challenging!

Chest Tap Push-Up: Touch your chest with one hand at the top of a regular push-up. This makes your middle body stronger and helps with balance. It still works your chest, shoulders, and the back of your upper arms.

Modified Hindu Push-Up: This is like a push-up, but you move your body in a smooth, up-and-down wave. It makes your shoulders and chest more flexible and strong, and it also works your middle body.

Plyometric Push-Ups: These are jump push-ups! You push up hard enough to lift your hands off the ground. This is great for building power and coordination, especially good for sports.

Medicine Ball Close Grip Push-Ups: Do push-ups with your hands on a medicine ball. This makes the back of your upper arms stronger and helps with balance and core strength.

Sagging Hips: Keep your hips up! Letting your hips drop puts extra pressure on your lower back. Imagine a straight line from your head to your heels – that's the goal. A strong core helps maintain this straight line.

Elbows Too Wide: Don't let your elbows stick out too far to the sides. Keep them pointing slightly out, about 45 degrees from your body. This protects your shoulders from getting hurt.

Not Going Low Enough: Go all the way down! Only doing partial push-ups means you're not working your muscles as hard as you could be. Lower yourself until your chest nearly touches the floor to get the most benefit.

It works your chest, shoulders, and core muscles all at once, making it very effective.

Good form is key to avoid injuries and get the most out of each push-up.

Focus on keeping your body in a straight line from head to heels – avoid sagging hips or arching your back.

Control the movement: Go down slowly and smoothly, then push back up with control. Don't just flop up and down.

Start with easier variations if needed (like knee push-ups) and gradually work your way up to full push-ups.

Listen to your body and take breaks when you need them. Don't push yourself too hard, especially when starting.

Regular practice will help you get stronger and improve your push-up technique over time.
