Easy push-up bar exercises for your workout routine
When performing push-ups or similar exercises, your wrists can experience a significant amount of pressure and strain. This not only hinders your performance but can also potentially lead to an injury. By using push-up bars, you can safely eliminate these risks and achieve your fitness goals. The best part about this equipment is that it allows you to perform a wide variety of exercises.
Mountain climbers
Get into a plank position and place the push-up bars parallelly to each other. Grab them and brace your core. Now lift one leg and bring the knee close to your chest. Return to the original position and then repeat this with the other leg. Quickly bring the knees of both legs toward your chest one by one, as though you are running.
Close grip push-ups
Get into the standard push-up position and hold the push-up bars with a neutral grip. The bars should be in line with your chest and elbows, and as close as possible to each other. With your core and legs locked, go down using the strength of your triceps and hands. Do as many repetitions as you can. This exercise tones your shoulders and arms.
Tricep dips
Keep the push-up bars as close to each other as possible. Sit, keep your legs straight or bent (whichever is suitable), and as you hold the bars with your hands, lift your upper body straight. Once done, bring your body down to its original position. Do multiple repetitions of lifting your body and then pressing it down. This will help tone your triceps.
Wide push-ups
Begin by placing the push-up bars outside of your shoulders and coming into the standard plank position. Now grab the bars, squeeze your shoulder blades, and slowly lower your body as far as you can. Pull your body up and return to the original position. Repeat this exercise as many times as comfortable. This can help you tone your shoulders, arms, and back.
L-sit
Keep the bars close to each other. Sit on the floor with your legs stretched outward. Grab the bars and push your body up so that your butts are off the ground. Flexing your abs, lift your heels to bring your leg a little above the ground. Hold for as long as you can and then return to the original position.
