Push Up (Body weight)

• Extend your legs behind you with your toes tucked under, creating a straight line from your head to your heels, this is your starting position.
• Lower your body towards the floor by bending your elbows, keeping your core tight and maintaining the straight line.
• Push your body up away from the floor, extending your elbows and returning to your starting position, ensure to keep your body straight throughout the movement.
• Repeat the process for the desired number of repetitions, remembering to breathe in as you lower your body and breathe out as you push up.

• **Hand Placement**: Your hands should be slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, with your fingers pointing forward. Placing your hands too wide apart can strain your shoulders and wrists, while placing them too close together may not engage your chest and triceps properly.
• **Elbow Position**: When lowering your body, aim to keep your elbows at a 45-degree angle to your body. Flaring your elbows out too far to the sides can put unnecessary stress on your shoulder joints.
• **Full Range of Motion**: To get the most out of the push-up, make sure you're using a full range of motion

Yes, beginners can definitely do push-ups. However, they may need to start with modified versions if they find the standard push-up too challenging. For example, they can start by doing push-ups against a wall, then progress to doing them on their knees, and eventually move on to a full push-up. It's important to focus on maintaining good form to avoid injury and get the most benefit from the exercise.
