      Push-up Progression Workout for a Stronger Core - Shaun Zetlin

      Author 

      Introduction

      Push-Up Progression Workout for a Stronger Core speaks to the benefits of progression while executing the otherwise traditional push-up by performing it in various ways and via multiple techniques. This book will discuss how crucial the push-up is in regards to training the core, upper body, and lower body.

      Anyone and everyone should read this book because the push-up can benefit anyone who is seeking more core stabilization, better posture, more power, stronger stability in their joints, and more strength in their upper and lower body. 

      While you discover how to improve your push-up technique, a main goal of this book is to inspire you to appreciate the benefits of refining your push-up approach in meeting your overall fitness training goals. You will not only become more advanced at performing the push-up, but will gain increased core stabilization and functionally improved posture. 

      Mastering the push-up is important because while some individuals can press heavy weights at the gym, their actual strength may not compare when it comes to performing the push-up. Similarly, both the beginner and professional alike may be unaware of the expansive value the push-up provides to conditioning the entire body.

      Beyond the common desire to have stronger arms and shoulders, most individuals need to improve their core strength and posture. Unbeknownst to many, the push-up can address all of those needs. The different levels of progression of push-ups will work stability, muscle isolation, isometrics, strength, power, and function. 

      Surely, if one was able to do a variety of a single exercise from the comfort of their own home, while addressing the desired results mentioned above, the benefits would be plentiful. Simply put, the push-up can be an amazing alternative for those who don’t regularly make it to the gym. For that reason, Push-Up Progression Workout for a Stronger Core can benefit people with even the most hectic of lifestyles.

      Core

      Core is a very popular word these days in the world of fitness. Most of us have probably seen or heard this term used frequently. While most of us know that having a stronger core is fundamental, let’s take a more detailed look into why a stronger core is crucial for everyone. 

      What is core?  

      Core can be best characterized as the central location of the body that consists of your entire spine (cervical, thoracic, and lumbar), the pelvic girdle and hips.  Therefore, the core can be defined as your entire body except for your arms and legs.

      Anatomy of the Core

      The muscles of the core can be classified into distinct categories based on their function of either stabilizing or providing movement for your body.
