Whether or not push-ups form a regular part of your exercise regime, learning how to do a push-up correctly should be a top priority. It's a staple compound exercise, working multiple muscle groups, including your pectoral muscles, shoulders, and arms.
Even if you don't include them on chest day, learning how to push your body weight is important for daily functioning and building upper body strength. Although strong arms can be built by lifting heavy weights, push-ups are one of the best bodyweight exercises to build your arm strength.
