Push-ups - we all love to hate em! Join Jaris push-up party in Get RIPPED! 1000: bit.ly/1jycecE Whatever we may think of them, they are one of the most complete compound exercises out there. Beyond the obvious benefits of strengthening the muscles in our chest, arms and shoulders, push-ups are incredibly effective at strengthening your core muscles. When performed correctly - back flat, full range of motion, head down, abs held tight - the rectus abdominus and transverse abdominus are consistently engaged. The push-ups versatility is also staggering - they can be done from the toes for more of a challenge, or from the knees when were just beginning to perfect our form; in a plyometric fashion, with an explosive push on the up phase of the movement; by taking your knees out to the side or in to your chest on the descent, one by one, to work your obliques; or even one-armed! So while you might remember the push-up as a punishment from your high school gym class, in Get RIPPED! we say when it gets tough, BRING IT ON!
