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

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.

look at animals. That is what we are compared to. May be you want to be a bull. Strong elite. What do they do walk around on all fours all day and eat all day. Walk and graze walk and graze. That's their routine. Every time your standing there watching tv, sitting on the couch, standing at the door ,chilling at a friends house, drop and do push ups. Our bodies are one huge working muscle.My motto,theirs no talking just start walking don't be depressed do some bench press.

For the same distance covered, running will burn twice as more fat than walking. If you have the motivation to do so running/jogging is ideal. Though it takes some time to build up enough endurance to run for any length of time. Running puts more impact on the joints such as your knees, so it would be a good idea to consult your doctor first.

You'll build up excellent heart health by running or skipping. Also doing "other" some exercises that particularly target the abdominals/obliques would help tone them, which sounds like it might help you in particular. An excellent source of information is to go here - http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/richb4.htm

This site has a lot of useful information if you can handle the advertising, i just totally ignore it. Somewhere on this site i found a page where it compares running, walking, rowing etc and rates of fat burnt per a certain amount of time. A quick search this time didnt bring up any results.

Doing Push Ups?

****ttt... I try to do at least 300 a day right now... when I started doing them I went with 1oo then slowly moved up... Once uve done a ceratin amount of reps for awhile (weeks,days)whatever then move up like 10 more.Or try to go up a few reps u will know when your ready to move up.. I do  them in intervals of 60 though just stop and rest while doing them and incorparte them with lifting and u will def see diffrence in your arms..And chest but more arms for me..  hershal walker the football player did like over 1000 daily and jamie fox does like atleast like 100 or more perfect push ups a day to keep his arms tone...   but then u gotta mess with the pull ups, those are a diffrent animal ... Jus keep at a good work out routine and u will c results.. But do your own thing **** what everyone else does or is supposed to do..  run and do push ups at same time...
