anymore.

PUSH – UP
The push-up exercise is super popular for working out your upper
body. You don't need any fancy equipment, just your own body weight.
There are lots of different ways to do it, so you can pick what suits your

shoulders. If you do them right, they can also help strengthen your lower
back and core by tightening your abs. Push-ups are a quick and powerful
way to get stronger.
