Push up is one of the most popular exercises on the planet. However it is also one of the most wrongly executed movements.
To execute a proper push up keep these pointers in mind.
1. Toe positioning
Push up is visualized as a linear motion. On the contrary it is a rotational motion. The axis of this rotation are your toes. So toes should be kept tall and rigid.
2. Core and Glutes
Anterior pelvic tilt and posterior pelvic tilt should be avoided. The core should be kept tight. A tight core would ensure tight glutes. This would ensure a neutral spine.
3. Retract shoulder blades
The shoulder blades should be in a retracted position. This would ensure optimal shoulder health.
4. Shoulder and elbow positioning
The aerial view of the set should look like an arrow and not like a “T” as illustrated below.
5. Head positioning
The head should be in line with your spine.
