Push ups are a great exercise for building muscle, toning your upper body and core and improving your flexibility. When you do a push-up you work large muscle groups including the deltoids, triceps and pectorals, which will quickly improve your strength.
The abdominals, gluteals, quadriceps, rotator cuffs and muscles in your back contract continually during a push-up to stabilise your body. Strengthening these muscles will help to improve posture and reduce your risk of future injury.
Also, because you work so many large muscles, the push up is effective cardiovascular exercise which will help to improve your health, burn fat and lose weight.
When you perform a push up normally with the palms of your hands on the floor, your wrists are forced to hyperextend (bend backwards) as you lower your body to the ground. This can lead to ligament and nerve damage. However, when you perform the push up using push up handles it prevents your wrists from hyperextending and allows the arms and shoulders to move naturally.
You can change the position of the handles to target different muscles, with your wrists remaining in a neutral and safe position.
