The pushup is a classic move and one of the best things you can do to hit your chest, shoulders, arms, and core in one swoop. If you get your pushup form perfect you can build muscle and blast your fat away by banging out some major sets of the move. There are all types of variations you can do to help boost your muscles, but the classic pushup is one you should master before you do that. The classic push-up comes close to a perfect exercise, challenging multiple muscle groups in the arms, chest, back, and core to build overall functional strength. If being able to do 50 push-ups is on your fitness bucket list, it's time to make it happen. We have different 30 to 100 day challenges to build your upper body and core strength so that by the end of those days, you'll be able to bust out 50 (or even way more) push-ups. Our Push-up challenges are going to get that upper body looking great, and you'll build a lot of functional strength.
