I currently attend the gym but cannot always get there. I have just started doing press ups each day that I miss, and I was wondering if press ups every morning was a more productive way of working out than going to the gym 3 days a week. Thanks for the help!
Many fashions particularly do hundreds of reps an afternoon. I hate that i be attentive to this thoroughly stupid actuality, yet years in the past in the previous Britney Spears went insane, she did 3,000 take a seat-united statesevery morning and that i could anticipate that many male fashions could do exactly as many push-ups. you would be attentive to in case you're over-doing it if it starts to harm. Stretching will help. the reality which you unfold it out in the time of the day is a sturdy difficulty too, that way you do no longer overstrain the muscular tissues in a loaded workout consultation.
I'm not familiar with press-ups are they pushups, or a form of them? Anyway, whatever they are...they are more than likely only targeting one muscle group. To be productive you shouldn't ignore the rest of your body. Think total body workouts. Also don't forget about cardio. Muscular training provides cardio to some degree...but not enough as actually doing cardio would. Cardio is the key to losing weight...and if that's not your goal, it keeps your heart and lungs healthy. Push-ups are an excellent upper body exercises that engages the chest, biceps, traps, and shoulders. But like I said, don't ignore the rest of the body. Do core exercises (planks, vertical leg crunches, russian twists, etc) and lower body exercises like squats and lunges and variations of them. Don't worry about getting to the gym all the time. All the exercises mentioned require just your own bodyweight (and maybe a dumbbell for the Russian Twist). Also unlike the machines in the gym, they are targeting more than one muscle at a time. Example (A russian twist engages the abs, and the obliques, not to mention the arms, and allow spinal mobility) or you can do three different machines to do the same thing. When you do go to the gym, try incorporating more use of freeweights/stabilty balls/resistances bands/medicine balls instead of just machines. Also doing muscle exercises EVERYDAY is not productive. Allow your muscles at least 24-48 hours to recover. Failure to do so could result in overtraining and injury. Best of luck!
For building muscles you'd ideally be doing 3 sets of 8-10 reps 3 times a week at the maximum weight you can manage, so press ups are extremely ineffective for building muscle. Doing the same exercise with an increasing amount of reps is an extremely ineffective way of building muscle, and amounts to a poor cardio exercise at best.
