Weighted Push Up
-About
Weighted push-ups work your chest, triceps, and shoulders by adding extra weight. Great for building strength and endurance.
How to Weighted Push Up
Starting Position
1. Wear a weighted vest or place an appropriate weight on your back while in a push-up position.
2. Keep your hands shoulder-width apart and positioned under your shoulders.
3. Maintain your body in a straight line from head to toe.
Proper Form
1. Slowly lower your body until your chest is close to the floor by bending your elbows.
2. After feeling tension in your chest and pausing, push your body back up to the starting position by straightening your arms.
3. Maintain a straight line to prevent your hips from sagging or rising too high when your body is lifted.
4. Repeat the same movement for the specified number of repetitions.
Breathing Technique
Inhale when lowering your body and exhale when raising it.
Precautions
1. Gradually increase the weight without putting strain on your waist and shoulders.
2. Engage your abdomen and glutes to prevent your back from sagging.
3. If you feel pain in your shoulders or wrists, stop immediately and adjust the weight.
