A "push" workout is a type of strength training that focuses on exercises where you push the weight away from your body. These types of workouts typically focus on the upper body, targeting the muscles in the chest , shoulders and triceps. Some examples of these movements include bench presses, shoulder presses and tricep extensions.
Not only are these kinds of exercises an effective way to build muscle and strength, but they also improve overall upper-body stability and mobility. Doing push workouts consistently will help you ability perform everyday tasks that require this type of movement, such as lifting objects overhead or pushing a heavy door, with more ease and less risk of injury.
