Technik-Tipps
Ensure your body forms a straight line from your head to your heels. Avoid sagging your hips or hiking your butt up in the air, as these incorrect forms can lead to lower back injuries.
Engaging your core muscles throughout the exercise is vital to stabilize your body and protect your spine. It also ensures you're working your entire body during the push-up.
A common mistake is to rush through the push-up. Instead, lower your body in a slow, controlled motion until your chest almost touches the floor. Then, push back up to the starting position equally as slow. This method will ensure you're maximizing muscle engagement.
