This natural body movement is probably the most popular calisthenic exercise, and you can do them pretty much anywhere. When doing the standard push up there a a few things that you need to be aware of:
1. Keep your head up-- helps maintain your body and spine alignment to ensure proper technique and no injuries.
2. Do not let your butt sag-- doing so decreases activation of the abs and puts negative strain on your low back.
3. Do not let your butt get too high in the air-- this positions the body so that the pecs are no longer involved in the exercise.
Muscles groups used: Pecs, Delts, Biceps, Triceps, Neck, Abs.
