Push-ups are one of the simplest yet most effective exercises for the body. How will your body change if you do 30 push-ups daily? Lose It explains the benefits.
Is it safe to do 30 push-ups every day?
It's important to vary your workouts. However, daily push-ups can still be safe and effective if performed correctly.
How to do push-ups:
- Place your hands on the floor about shoulder-width apart, keeping your hips aligned with your head and heels. Engage your core and glutes.
- Bend your elbows at a 45-degree angle to your torso, not flaring them out, and lower your body to the floor.
- Squeeze your shoulder blades together as you lower yourself.
- Keep your body stable and straight while moving up and down.
Benefits of push-ups
You will strengthen your upper body
In addition to biceps and triceps, push-ups engage shoulder and chest muscles. Doing 30 push-ups a day will strengthen your chest, define your arms, and increase muscle mass.
Your core gets stronger
During push-ups, your body remains straight, engaging your abs, obliques, and lower back. These muscles stabilize the spine and pelvis to prevent sagging.
Shoulders and upper back also help maintain proper form, further training your core. For example, push-ups with leg raises or on one hand activate the abs and obliques even more.
Posture will improve
Doing 30 push-ups daily will stabilize and strengthen the muscles attached to the collarbone, including the pectoralis major.
Harvard Health notes that push-ups correct weakness and compensate for shortening of the minor chest muscles, which can lead to rounded shoulders.
How to safely do push-ups daily
If doing 30 push-ups in one set is difficult, break them into 2-3 sets of 10-15. To reduce strain, try push-ups on your knees, against a wall, or on a bench.
You can do push-ups daily as long as you don't experience severe muscle pain. Light stretching after exercise helps prevent injury.
If you feel pain in your shoulders or wrists, take 1-2 days off and check your technique.
Always monitor proper back and shoulder alignment. Avoid overexertion: it's better to do fewer push-ups correctly than 30 with poor form.
