Hey there! Ready to get your chest pumpin’ with some feel-good push ups? You’ve come to the right place! Push ups are a great way to strengthen your chest muscles and give you that toned look you’re after. Plus, they’re easy to do - no equipment needed! So let’s get started - here’s how to do feel-chest push ups like a pro.
Why Don’T I Feel It In My Chest When I Do Push Ups? [Solved]
If you’re having trouble feeling your chest when doing pushups, give slightly flaring out your elbows a try before pushing. This will help activate your chest more, although the ideal angle can vary depending on who you ask - I usually go for about 30 degrees.
Start Position: Begin in a high plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your feet together.
Lowering: Slowly lower your chest towards the ground, keeping your elbows close to your body and maintaining a straight line from head to toe.
Pause: Once you reach the bottom of the movement, pause for one second before pushing back up to the starting position.
Push Up: Push up through your arms until you reach the top of the movement, squeezing your chest muscles at the top of each rep for maximum benefit.
Breathing: Make sure to breathe out as you push up and inhale as you lower down for each rep in order to maintain proper breathing technique throughout the exercise
Chest push-ups are a great way to work your upper body. They’re easy to do and you’ll feel the burn in no time! You just need to get into a plank position, lower your chest towards the ground, then push back up. Make sure you keep your core tight and don’t forget to breathe! You’ll be feeling the effects of those chest push-ups in no time.
