In any Strength Training workout, proper form is very important and using The Perfect Pushup is no exception. While doing the pushups these are things to keep in mind; your head should be in a neutral position with your ears in-line with the shoulders and spine and your back should be straight, in-line with the neck, hips and legs. Next rotate your hips toward the floor as you contract your abs while pulling your navel towards your spine keeping your legs straight with the knees in-line with your hips.
A correct pace should be 2 seconds, 1 second down and 1 second up. Last but not least, your breathing is very important. Get into a rhythm of inhaling on the way down and exhaling on the way up. I’ve found by counting out loud on the way up, this will help you exhale and keep you in a good rhythm.
