T push-up is the magic exercise that can tone your arms and belly in one go

There is nothing better than doing an exercise that does more than just focus on one body part. To be honest, it saves a lot of time. And when you find an exercise that can tone your arms and core together, then that’s just splendid – because let’s face it these are the hardest areas to get to. That’s why we want to introduce you to T push-ups.

We know that nobody likes doing push-ups. But worry not, because we are here to help you fall in love with T push-ups, because they are the best variation to this basic exercise. 

So here are some ground rules to do T push-ups

Do you know what makes T-push ups so good? That they target almost every body part of yours. Your arms, chest, shoulders, core, glute, thighs, and hamstrings – you just name it and T-pushups are going to work on them like magic. 

Before you dive into the move, don’t forget these things:

• Warm-up is a must. Do at least 10 to 15 minutes of warm-up. Ensure that you stretch every part of your body.    
• Use a mat to get a better grip.
• Keep your body flexed to make the most of it this exercise. 
• Breathing is important too, so focus on that.
• This is a movement based push-up so don’t be in a hurry. The slower you go, the better the results.
• You can do this move with or without shoes. So, that’s totally your call.

Now it’s time to learn how to do T push-ups

This move can be broken into three parts

• Straight arm plank
• Push-up
• Side plank 

It might look difficult, but once you’ll get a hang of it then this exercise will be a piece of cake.

Steps:

Step 1: Be on all fours to get into a straight arm plank. Your palms will be shoulder width apart.

Step 2: Now slowly do a push-up.

Step 3: Now get into a side plank extending your arm (fingers facing towards the roof). Hold for 2 seconds.

Step 4: Come back into the straight arm plank. Get into a push-up and then switch sides, and do a side plank again.

This is one rep. 

If you’re a beginner, do these T push-ups for 30 seconds. For starters, you can do knee push-ups. But extend your legs for the side plank. Do 5 sets of this.

If you’re at an intermediate and advanced fitness level, time yourself for one minute. 

Tips that will come in handy

• Whenever you have to apply force, try to exhale. This will help you in improving your stamina to do the move.
• Keep your stomach tucked in so that your core stays engaged.

So that’s all about doing T push-ups ladies, now use your mats and try them out.
