A great exercise and one of the all around best one for strengthen your core is the push up. In previous articles I have discussed the importance of strength building exercises as it relates to ageing. As we grow older we lose muscle, sorry but that may be a fact of life.
When we lose muscle bulk we weaken not only our capability to lift a heavy object, but straightforward everyday stuff like pushing up from a chair or climbing stairs becomes a real chore. Additionally a weaken core increases the possibility of injury from falling and recovering from an injury.
This is where strength exercises come to your rescue. Regardless of how old you are or unfit strength exercising is the genuine anti-aging drug. Here is where pushups come to the rescue. I seriously like push ups because they don't require any hardware, no gym and there are so many varieties that anyone with their doctor's OK can do them. Even if you can't do them, please find some strength building exercises you can do . Lifting soup cans as an example is a fantastic place to begin.
If your into push ups like I am and attempting to max the amount of pushups you do you could be getting exasperated because you're stuck and cannot get beyond a specific number of reps. For instance let's assume you are up to 10 push ups but striving to get beyond that number.
Well never fear hears a tip that may blast up pass your plateau. It's called decreasing sets and here's how it works. First set do only 8 reps. Now rest for a minute and do half that number or 4. Okay you have already done more push ups ( 12 ) than your previous workout, rest and do half that number or two. Now your number is up to fourteen and you have just added to your push ups by forty percent!
If you really want to test yourself take another rest and beginning at two increase each set till you reach eight or until failure. Body-builders and weight lifters do this all the time. They call it pyramid sets and doing these will really increase your numbers. Each session increase the number of your first set. Say rather than doing 10 you do twelve, then the subsequent set is 6 and such like. This is a pretty intense workout so have a protein shake after and take a rest / recovery day or 2 and maybe a walk or do some yoga.
I am hoping this tip works for you. At last your actually boost your number of reps and naturally grow muscle and strengthen your core. Current studies have even shown that strength exercises also change your genes to a younger person's profile! Pretty extraordinary and one more reason to include strength exercises into your session.
