Replying to **Satan**Mate, if you do push-ups and you are getting tired, then you are working out. Just keep doing them and mix it up a bit (wide push-ups, hands close, feet elevated etc)..Do this till you cant push up anymore...Good luck-reply by brian
doing push ups only work out some parts of your upper body and arms. You need to do other exercises that work out other muscles as well. Do everything, sit-ups, weights etc.
Yes, and sometimes you wont notice it, but you will start noticing if you do it more!:D
My PE teacher told me that if you do weights that are heavy, you get large muscles, but if you do weights that arelight but for a long time, you get strong.
Doing push-ups once a week wont really be enough to see any real improvement. You should do them everyday, because it only takes a couple of minutes right? An easy thing to do is, each night before you goto bed and after you wake up, do as many press-ups as you can. Then you should see an improvement. I dont know about a toned body though. Equipment would probably be best for that, but most people dont have it. There are things around the house you can use though. For example, if you want abs, you can do sit-ups, and to make them harder you can put your feet up on a stall or your bed or something, and you can get a good work out like that.

if you are just looking to tone your body, running and pushups and sit ups are the way to go. but if you want to build a lot of muscle mass, you will either need to do a lot of pushups and sit ups, or use weights. running should always be included as it helps tone your body. if you were just doing pushups and sit ups, you would gain muscle mass, but it wouldnt show as well becuase running burns off the fat above it. which reminds me that i should probably get back into running with my work out.
if you do enough push-ups to wear yourself out, or make your muscles feel
tired, then that's good i've been doing that for about 3 days and can tell that my muscles are getting bigger try pumping iron brah hello i wanted to know will doing push ups for about 10 weeks give you a strong toned body? i wanted to know because i do pushs up only once a week and run the next 6 days of that week and i don't know if i'm getting any stronger. you need to go to the gym buddy! work on those musles.. and more than once a weekk.. jeez! do some weights.. run.. protein shakes..
Just take sterioids! Kidding, don't do that. Well a YMCA membership can help if your in the U.S. Or, if your still in high school than you might have a weight room there, that you could use. But, push-ups will get you stronger, you won't be ripped or anything by doing them for a couple of weeks, but you should begin to see a difference sooner than you think!
Haha, no they wont sorry buddy. It also depends on how old you are. If your going through your puberty stages, push-ups and situps will do WONDERS for your body. If your past puberty, you will need to do about 2x, if your younger then puberty, you basically can't gain much muscle. Situps will tone your abs, pushups will tone different parts of your arms depending how your doing. Also think about doing situps with weights in each hand, running will also help. Remember this one thing though:
When your weight lifting... High level weights, less reps = More Muscle being created Low Level weights, More reps = Muscle being more toned and defined By low I do not mean like 20lbs, i mean low as in, you can do 20-40 reps fine. High level I mean as high as you can go, with 3-4 reps. MAKE SURE YOU ONLY BENCH ON THE MACHINE WHEN DOING HIGH LEVEL WEIGHTS, that way you can get out safe, if your using uneven weights or freeweights or freefall weights, on a bench press...you will probably hurt yourself, its heavier, and you can hurt yourself doing high level weights with it.

hey, if your dedicated to doin those pushups at a high intensity and you keep focous through an intense set, pushups are a great part of a basic total body work out!
pushups are commonly regarded as only working the upper body, when infact if done properly, they can work alot more! they directly affect the triceps, forearms, chest, and shoulders........ and also have a ligitimate affect on the abs, because if your doing them right, you will have a straight back, which requires a significant amount of abdominal strength to hold good form throught a long set of pushups. also, pushpus indirectly affect your traps, lower back, butt, hips, and biceps! i know it sounds like crap to say that pushups can work any lower body part, but if you dont believe it, attempt a set of as many pushups you can do before you litterally collapse, then hold in that pushup position ( arms straight, back straight, up off the ground) for two minutes! you'll see the affects!
Push up's work on biceps and pecks to my knowledge.
Doing ten a day even flattens man boobs and ands some muscle on. Yeah, I run a little, and do pushups nightly. I do sit ups as well, but because I am underweight, I try not to exert myself. Do you, or does anyone, suggest a specific routine for me to gain mass? I weight 142lbs and am 6'4" For mass, go to the gym (or get your own weights). Drink a protein shake about 20 minutes before you start lifting. Find the heaviest wieght in which you can do 7 reps of whichever excercise you choose (and then do 7 reps), take a small break, do another 7 reps, rest and then do one last set of 7 reps. I would recomend simple curls, and also what I thought were called butterflys... but online its called a bench dumbell press. ![]() You should also do the same thing with your torso and your legs. I would also recomend that you do this on monday wednesdays and fridays, with either a break or a short run on the off days. If you do it everyday you wont give your muscles time to heal, and you could actually damage them. Once that wieght you started on is easier to lift, go up in wieght... Now if you wanted to be stronger but not get big and bulky you could find a lower weight and do many reps with the same plan. That will make your muscles more lean and toned. I hope this helps!

Thats very true, but it may not neccisarilly be 20lbs. Because 20lbs for me is fairly light, where as 50lbs would be a good higher weight without overdoing it and hurting myself. It really depends on you. Do excercises that work as many muscles as you can, so you get your triceps too, not just your bicepts... and even the gluts for the ladies Definately pushups and sittups, the more you can do the better. I wouldnt recomend anything special, just regular excercises or else you will wear out quicker. As far as running goes, yes yes yes. You say you run six times a week, so you may be better than I, but what i do is.. Go to gym Run for 20-30mins Go to weight machines Work arms 50% Work torso 30% Work legs 20% The leg excercises take up 20% but are actually not that long, since I would run before it. For example, sometimes ill do a few reps with as many weights as I can find for the leg press... (so far 700 tops, but i run out of weights) I wouldnt actually recomend running 6 days a week... I would recomend every other day, or monday wednesday friday with a weekend break. On the off running days do extra arm/torso workouts. If you excersise every day you dont give your muscles a chance to heal and regrow (bigger/leaner). You can actually damage your muscles by over excercising so dont overdue it. If your going stricly for muscle just drink a protein shake before working muscles (probably not before running though). Well now that that's covered, where can I find some dieting tips? Lol... (i think im addicted to food, hah)
