A good exercise and one of the all around best one for reinforce your core is the push up. In previous articles I have discussed the importance of strength building exercises as it is related to ageing. As we get older we lose muscle, sorry but that may be a truism.
When we lose muscle bulk we weaken not only our ability to lift a heavy object, but easy everyday stuff like pushing up from a chair or climbing stairs becomes a genuine chore. In addition a weaken core increases the likelihood of injury from falling and recovering from an injury.
Here's where strength exercises come to your rescue. Regardless of how old you are or unfit strength exercise is the genuine contra-aging drug. This is where push ups come to the rescue. I like push ups because they do not need any equipment, no gym and there are so very many kinds that any person with their doctor's OK can do them. Even if you can't do them, please find some strength building exercises that can be done. Lifting soup cans for example is a fantastic place to begin.
If your into push ups like I'm and making an attempt to max the amount of push ups you do you could be getting exasperated because you are stuck and cannot get beyond a particular number of reps. For example shall we say you are up to 10 push ups but striving to get beyond that number.
Well never fear hears a tip that will blast up pass your plateau. It's called decreasing sets and here's how it operates. First set do only eight reps. Now rest for a minute and do half that number or four. O.K you have just done more pushups ( twelve ) than your prior workout, rest and do half that number or 2. Now your number is up to 14 and you have just elevated your pushups by 40%!
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'm hoping this tip works for you. Finally your actually increase your number of reps and obviously grow muscle and bolster your core. Recent studies have even shown that strength exercises also change your genes to a younger person's profile! Pretty amazing and a different reason to include strength exercises into your workout.
