Beginner's tutorial for push-ups: Learn step by step method to perform it perfectly.

Beginner's tutorial for push-ups: One who has never done push-ups must first start with knee push-ups. Ideally, three sets of 15 repetitions each should be performed. It's recommended to do this for the first ten days, and then one should move to standard push-ups without knee support. After 10 days, two sets of knee push-ups should be clubbed with two sets of standard push-ups. The quantity of the standard push-ups will not matter at this time; your form and a full range of motion will help you develop full strength. Once you have acquired the form for standard push-ups, you should set small goals every week, increasing your reps by five in each set. Never round your back while performing push-ups and remember to complete the full range of motion with your back straight throughout the exercise. Also, remember that your elbows should perfectly lockout while moving your body down. Push-ups not only increases your muscular strength but it also helps in making your core stronger.
