The Art of Push-Up Exercise

Maybe most of the people out there ever heard about the push-up exercise but based on my own observations, there are only some of them know about the benefits of this simple exercise. And yes, i also practise this particular exercise myself since couple of years ago and i am quite happy with the result so far. Better yet, no costs involved since the exercise can be done anywhere as you wish i.e. house, office and also recreational park. 
First and foremost, let's starts with the introduction part first. The push-up exercise is actually a common body movements exercise performed by one person in a prone position by raising and lowering the body using arms. But however, there are certain rules that need to be followed and remembered by those who practise it. Mind the position as you need to place your hands in a wide position since it will increases the push-up's use of chest muscles opposed to arm muscles. 
Push-up targets or worked out the muscles around the chest, arms and shoulders. Hence, the supports required from other muscles results in a wider range of muscles integrated into one simple exercise itself. So meaning that t is quite worthy and again, it is totally free and easy to be done anywhere as you wish. 
For those who wish to try this exercise, i suggests you to start gradually. During your first time, you may experience a minor pain around your arms as your muscle starts to stretch itself in order to pull your weight all over both of your hands. But do not fret, the pain will decreases over a short period of time.
So, i advise you to starts with low capacity first. For instance, 15 - 20 push-ups per set each session; 3 - 4 sessions per week with a day or two days gap for each session. And the following week, try to increase the capacity to 30 - 40 push-ups per set and further increase it over time and keep doing it over and all over again. 
The reason why i ask you to put a gap between the session is actually to give your muscles time to rest in order for it to gain itself up. You can try to do the exercise once every 2 days. So from there you can see the shape gradually formed around the affected areas. Or maybe you can take photos to monitor and compare the changes of your body shape over the time since you started the exercise. And trust me, you will never regret to practise this simple exercise because apart from getting best desired body shape, you will gain a good health too!
