PUSH-UPS everyday?

Question...is it beneficial to do push ups everyday?

You can read about it here. It is OK to do push ups daily if you are doing a "moderate" amount of push-ups. If you are pushing yourself to doing "push-ups to failure" and working the muscles hard...give them 48 hours rest. If you want to take a break from push-ups - hold plank on your elbows. Then, push your toes forward and you will feel it in your core.

I hope this information helps. On the days that your muscles are fatigued/sore....rest that muscle group - work a different muscle group or only do cardio. Also, make sure to take one day a week (Saturday or Sunday) for rest!

Keep up the good work!
