4 Tips To Increase Your Push Ups (In 30 Days)

[@AvecBella]

Form is everything to get your intended results and prevent injuries. Thank you Cori 😊❤

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

It is and with form focusing on what you truly feel working not just going through the motions!

[@RosemaryFarrar]

I can’t wait to try these tips. I never seem to get better but maybe now I will. Thank you, Cori!

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Excited for you to implement them! Make sure to set them in a schedule and REPEAT those same routines for a clear progression!

[@nathanyoder4509]

Appreciate your tutorials Cori! They have really helped me get stronger!

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Thank you Nathan! So glad they help!

[@vylia]

Loved your examples at the start! Thanks for sharing your tips, Cori!

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

hehe thanks! Glad it helps!

[@daytonvalleydeals6056]

I'm struggling with improving some horrible arthritis in my left wrist. I want so bad to get back to doing pushups. Love these videos! Thank you for helping us older less toned folks too!

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Glad the tips help! Are you foam rolling your forearm? These tips may interested you - redefiningstrength.com/wrist-pain-with-push-ups-these-tips-and-exercises-will-help?sl=yc

[@J2_G]

Your babies on their personalized float is too precious! As someone who falls in and out of a fitness routine, push ups have always gotten me the fastest, visible results and a good marker of my progress. Thank you Cori for your thorough overviews that help me with burnout, and monotony.

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Kiwi and Sushi say thank you! And I'm so glad the videos help! Push ups are a great performance focus to keep us rocking.

[@geraldinebusch]

Thanks so much Cori! I will be adding this move to my push-up regimen....Just what I needed!!!!

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

So glad it helps!

[@adegbenroagoro5180]

Thank you very much Cori

[@liteicedcoffee]

This is so helpful! I'll be working on the step where you focus on going from the bottom to the top of the pushup. I've been so stuck for so long not getting stronger on this move. You've given me hope and an action plan, thank you!

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Those little changes in how we even use each variation can add up. Focus on that hard exhale and really setting up with everything engaged before you push!

[@EllenGormleyCrochet]

Yes! This is what I needed! Thank you!

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

So glad it helps!

[@learningto-cook]

The push up you do at first are sooooooooo me. 😂😂😂😂😂 I've given up doing them on the floor. The bathroom and kitchen counter are my "floor" now. Well used to BE, haven't done any for a long time...

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Love that you're using the incline to build up! So key! And I think we've all had those form breakdowns at points. Honestly seeing my own videos led me to really regress to progress my push ups a few years back as I realized I'd let ego get in the way! Always a work in progress!

[@tudormiller887]

Thanks Cori. ❤

[@fcmiller3]

Great Tips!! I remember

[@kimthompson3748]

I watch you because of the information, but you crack me up too! Love these videos. I would like to do an actual workout with you. Unless I'm missing them.

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Thanks! No, sorry I don't offer follow alongs because honestly I think follow alongs lead to people not being intentional with their training or doing moves fully based on what they need. I love making sure everything is designed with purpose for clients and they can focus on those recruitment patterns. If you do need workouts though, I have some in my Dynamic Strength Program - redefiningstrength.com/dynamic-strength?sl=yc

[@thomasweir7054]

Cori is one of the best instructors on the internet. Really outstanding. My favorite way to modify is elevating my feet to a chair or wearing a weight belt.

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Great ways to progress the push up and even target different aspects of your pecs. And thank you! Glad it helps!

[@handsomestik]

Them shoulders are amazing

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Thanks! Push ups but also macros 😝

[@beckiedaniel5115]

This is great; I’ve been wanting to do perfect pushups but give up too easily. I have a bucket list and this one is on that list. In the past I had been doing pushups the inch worm way and now I’m able to straighten my back, but still unable to pushup the correct way. Now that I see the correct format, I am going to start this for 30 days. Again thanks for the great explanation.

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Definitely creating that consistent weekly schedule with this skill work will help and will allow you to track progression even over time!

[@ConniePretula]

This is awesome!! I can easily do 10-15 reps at a 45 degree angle, this is going to finally move me on to the full horizontal push up. Thanks Cori! Do you have a warm up video?

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

YAY! Here's to some skills to move to that ground! I don't have a specific push up warm up video, but some moves in this may help you to start - redefiningstrength.com/the-perfect-mobility-routine-full-body-fix?sl=yc

Thank you.

[@sammy6176]

My push ups are completely useless!!😂😂😂will keep working on it!!❤

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

These tips are so key to building up. I used them in a 30 day push up challenge to help clients reach that first full one from the ground and even increase their reps off the ground!

[@Susie-Joy]

@@redefiningstrengthOC I need at 30-day challenge. I would love to be able to do proper push-ups! ♥ Do you have a challenge on KZbin? xx

[@tirusew]

You’re one dedicated fitness guru.

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Thanks!

[@hannahandrainn]

I have arthritis in my thumb joints, so my thumbs don't want to lie flat. I've tried push up bars but this is painful too. Is there anything else I can try Cori?

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Using dumbbells can be helpful or even a mat under the heel of your hand. Here's more tips in this video that may help - redefiningstrength.com/wrist-pain-with-push-ups-these-tips-and-exercises-will-help?sl=yc

[@hannahandrainn]

[@nanjaconetty5475]

What can you do if your wrists hurt? What is a modification?

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Here are some work arounds and even the mobility work that will be so helpful - redefiningstrength.com/wrist-pain-with-push-ups-these-tips-and-exercises-will-help?sl=yc

[@karenmckenzie8465]

That was a lot. Do I start with the down part on a bench and work from there?

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

These 4 skills are things I would put into 4 workouts as a weekly schedule to repeat. But you want all 4 as they address missing things in each other. So one workout may have eccentric, then the next bottoms up, then later that week cluster sets and then finally holds on that last workout. Here's the video written out so you can see the way I'd implement each skill after warming up - redefiningstrength.com/4-tips-to-increase-your-push-ups-in-30-days?sl=yc

[@gemmacuevas2798]

Any ways I’ll give it a try!!!🙏

[@DeborahBrooks]

Cluster reps have been a great tip all round, building up with control and form 🙂

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

YES! They are great for so many applications including even helping you lift heavier loads for big compound lifts!

[@patrickjanssen273]

I just started in a 60+ fitness class with men and women. We did push ups and I noticed that I was rhe worst of the class. Even the women did them much better than me. I am about 80 kg and rhe women problably around 60 kg. Is it for them easier bc they are lighter? Thanks for all the tips.

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Strength to weight ratio can impact things but often smaller people also have less muscle. The more we practice though, the more we can improve our form and get more efficient!

[@ankitdixit6073]

When to do isometric movements. Before or after workout?

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

I may use the holds as part of an activation series in warm up or even during an actual workout as a full isometric circuit. I even sometimes include them with reps for density intervals soooo lots of different ways. But the way I mention here is more as part of the warm up or even the full workout being more "recovery" isos.

[@khadijahisaac4831]

For the longest time of my life I couldn't do any pushups.... But finally I got it down! And this video reminds me of how I was in the beginning!

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Love that you're rocking those push ups! Great job!

[@zane2101]

My husband can go so many pushups! I can do like 2. I appreciate you so much. I’m trying. I’m turning 40 this year and I have 2 beautiful kids, 12 and 9. I can’t get rid of my stomach fat. I fast and go to the gym. I feel lost 😫

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Hope the video helps! Also for fat loss, we can't out exercise our diet! Macros and how we adjust our nutrition has a huge impact. Here are tips to help - redefiningstrength.com/exercise-and-fat-loss-5-things-you-need-to-know?sl=yc

[@jam1369]

😂. Just what I needed. Thank you!

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Glad it helped!

[@gemmacuevas2798]

😂😂😂I think I’ve done it all!! But the right one. It scary when my shoulders start cracking I can hear it 🫣

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

The push up has more going on during it than we give it credit for! Easy to let little form deviations creep in! Focusing on that scapular control and movement is key to protecting our shoulders. This video may interest you as well - redefiningstrength.com/cant-do-push-ups-try-these-2-tips?sl=yc

I have wrists that I’m sure have arthritis in them and it makes it hard to keep my hands at that angle doing a push up,any tips?

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

This mobility work, especially the foam rolling for arthritis as well as modifications for wrist extension will help - redefiningstrength.com/wrist-pain-with-push-ups-these-tips-and-exercises-will-help?sl=yc

[@seancorreia2495]

I like the sets of two can only get 5 or 10 straight I'll try to get five sets of 20

[@Kcmo209]

This is so true 😂

[@LugTheBarbarian]

I've NEVER been able to do a proper pushup. I couldn't even do one on my knees O.o.

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

That incline variation is truly key to help you modify and build up!

[@anthonymotture]

What annoys me most is people with improper form who won’t accept that they need to change.

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

At those times I just keep working on my own form and those of the people that do want help. Hopefully it inspires them at some point too!

[@anthonymotture]

Yes, I grit my teeth.😉 Especially when they say they kept up with me. But you’re right you want them to do better for themselves.

[@divineglitch9550]

i used o be able to do 100 push up easily in my 20s but i can barley do 1 now

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

No time like the present to build back 😊💪

@@redefiningstrengthOC well i am trying and you are inspirational but chronic illness has a way of ruining things. still trying though

[@KingoftheJuice18]

This video could be organized better. It's pretty unclear where each "tip" starts and stops. All the instruction here just kind of blurs together.

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Sorry you feel that way. Each tip starts with what it is and ends with how to include it :-)

Do you need for her to say tip number one tip number two Etc ?

Wall push ups 😂😂

[@ldylkr]

Me. I'm too old to get to the floor unless I fall.

[@Twenty_Nine_Pigeons]

Wall push ups really work because I also thought I will never be able to do a push up lost all hope was not even consistent in exercise but because I tried hanging on a rod sometimes my time hanging on it increased for first time it was 3 seconds next 5 then kept going now it's 20 seconds 😅but somehow I can do a push up so all thanks to the wall push ups I did

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

Wall push ups can be key to building back. Especially for many of my clients even postpartum or who've had surgeries. We don't realize sometimes the strength moves truly take until we've had something change our abilities and recruitment patterns.

[@edgetransit3320]

Only tip to do pushups: Do pushups

[@redefiningstrengthOC]

While yes true, how you train you perform. Do improper push ups, your push ups stay...well....fugly. So regressing to progress and breaking down movements to build up with proper form is key!

[@edgetransit3320]
