The push up is actually what is termed a 'total body' exercise. While it is known as an upper body exercise, it works more muscles than just the chest and the arms. Done from the toes, a push up challenges you to push 60% of your bodyweight, while working your abdominals and your glutes (butt). In fact, the push up is a fantastic abdominal exercise, so make sure it becomes part of your exercise program! Doing a push up from the knees is simpler and less effective.
