I will do away with technical jargon, and simply tell you why you should never neglect press ups, or push ups in your fitness routines: I have never met anyone with a pot belly who regularly performs this exercise, NEVER!

And the reason is simple. Apart from the fact that the exercise in itself is a good fat burning movement, which significantly torches unwanted fat from areas like the deltoids M(shoulders), pectorals (chest), bi and tri's (arms), and lats (back), it also serves to aid general body muscles tone, while helping one to stay fit and trim.

There are a plethora of variations to this exercise, and each one differs slightly from the other as each places greater emphasis on the body part it was intended for.

Generally, with a few exceptions, everybody, who is active should be able to perform at least ten reps of this exercise. Be mindful however of performing this exercise in the correct position (don't sag your back especially) as doing otherwise will prove futile and a waste of time. Start slowly and watch your strength and skill improve over time.

The best part about this exercise is the fact that it can be done anywhere with little or zero equipments.
