“We used to have only two variations of a push-up. The standard, straight body push-up as well as what was called ‘girls’ pushups.’” says Cotton. “Now, we have an extreme variety of no-cost exercises that work. Look at the heights of different common things out in the world like a table, a chair, the ground, a tree, the kitchen counter. Years ago those were not even considered during training. In fact, the ‘girls’ push-up’ has largely gone away because you can do more effective pushups with less resistance from a table top instead of going from your knees.” Avoiding the high cost of specialized equipment is definitely a plus, he says, especially in tighter economic times.
