You may be mistaken if you believe that exercise consists solely of treadmills, rowing machines, and other equipment that needs significant time and effort.
By incorporating basic activities into your routine and making efficient use of your time, you may achieve your fitness goal even at home.
Simple things like transforming your staircases into a cardio machine or performing certain domestic chores to burn calories can go a great length in losing weight.
Yet another set of simple exercises that can be performed at home is Counter-push-ups
Counter push-ups are a simple 2-minute exercise that can be performed in the kitchen while cooking. It is a simple exercise that may be performed quickly while cooking food.
Why Counter Push-up is a Great Exercise for Beginners?
The counter push-up is an alternative to the standard push-up. It is a great exercise for beginners or those who struggle to complete basic push-ups. Counter Push-ups address the pectoralis major and minor muscle groups. In addition, counter push-ups engage the shoulders, arms, abdominals, back, and hips. It is ideal for toning the upper body and arms.
How to Perform Counter Push Up
Step 1: Choose a section of the kitchen counter devoid of any items or cooking equipment that may fall on you during the workout.
Step 2: Position yourself one foot from the kitchen counter in an upright position.
Now, bend forward and position your palms slightly wider than shoulder-width apart on the counter. Do not reposition your feet from their initial posture.
Step 3: Inhale and move your chest near the counter while bending your elbows (like you do push-ups on the floor). Your hands and legs must remain immobile.
Step 4: Exhale and push against the counter until your hands are straight. Repeat these steps five to ten times.
