Three-Point Push-Up
Push-ups are an exercise that should form some part of
everybody’s basic workout regime. They are a fantastic exercise for keeping fit
and healthy as well as strengthening the muscles of the chest, core, shoulders and
arms. But, after a while, it is important to mix things up. This blog post is
going to discuss a variation of the press up known as the three-point push-up.
How to do a three-point
push-up
A three-point push-up is simple to do if we already know how
to do a normal push-up. We get into the normal push-up position, but instead of
having both feet on the floor we place one on top of the other, meaning our
weight is distributed to three points as opposed to four. We then, as with
basic push-ups, slowly lower ourselves to the floor, pause, and then return to
the starting position for one rep. We should swap feet halfway through the set.
Why bother with a three point push-up?
This exercise works the same muscles as a basic push-up (the
triceps, chest, core and shoulders) but these muscles get worked more intensely
because our weight is distributed on three points rather than four. A basic push-up is one of the best exercises that there is - but a three-point push-up is even better!
