The Push-up is one of the greatest exercises for developing serious upper body strength. It effectively trains all of the muscles involved in horizontal pressing (pecs, triceps, deltoids, etc.) works the stabilizers, and activates the entire core.Additionally, it is one of the few horizontal pressing movements that allows the scapula to move naturally. This is critical for function and shoulder health. In this sense, the push-up is unlike any horizontal pressing exercise that requires you to lie on a bench.

Keep the body in a straight line.
