Exercise of the Week: Push Ups

Exercise of the Week: Push Ups

So many times bodybuilders tend to focus only on weight lifting as a part of their training regimen. While weight lifting is needed in order to achieve your bodybuilding goals, a great alternative to exercising your chest is push ups. Especially when traveling, bodybuilders often tend to slack or even take some time off from the gym because they do not have access to a gym.

Pushups are great because they can be performed whenever and wherever. Regardless of where you may be, push ups can help you maintain your strength until you get back from vacationing or traveling. Push ups can also be performed at the end of a chest exercise routine to add variety to your workouts.
