Much like the sit-up, the push up has been around forever — and for good reason. This bodyweight exercise is simple and suitable for any fitness level and can be done anytime, anywhere. The push-up is a compound exercise so it does more than just work out your arms. It also targets shoulders, chest, core, hips, and legs, too. It’s a full body workout that puts your strength to the test.

There are a few ways to modify and add variation to the push-up, making it easier or more difficult depending on your ability. So if you’re a beginner or slightly more advanced, these push up exercises are the perfect way to start toning and stay toned.
