Look here: Doing The Perfect Push-up . I've always said that the simple push-up, requiring no equipment and only a stretch of floor in your home (or hotel room!) is the perfect exercise, and now even WebMD and fitness experts agree! Although it offers no aerobic benefits, the push-up can be done in a way that works your whole body, and as a resistance exercise, it can help prevent osteoporosis . This is important for both women and men, both of whom may suffer from bone thinning. So in addition to your aerobic routine, add some push-ups to work multiple muscle groups, improve your core strength, and protect your bones. That's a lot of bang for no bucks! Be well, Laurie Related Topics:
