Push Ups are great as long as you change them up every 3 weeks or incorporate different types of push ups into the mix with less reps and more reps every time.

Such as ; Incline Push ups for upper side of pectorals, Regular Push ups for right side of pectorals, Decline Push ups for lower side of pectoral, Knee Push ups for right side of pectorals.

Workout Routine:

1×20 Regular Push Ups

1×20 Incline Push Ups

1×20 Decline Push Ups

1×20 Knee Push Ups

Then repeat 3 times

Push Ups work several parts of the body and are known as a 'Compound Exercise.' They work the Pectorals (or chest), Abdominals , Triceps and Forearms. They also help with endurance. If you squeeze your chest while doing them the results will be better for you chest.

In a week if you do 300 - 500 push ups a day you will see results to the right side of the pectorals.
