Yes, that and any type of weight bearing (walking, running) or resistance (lifting, sit ups) exercise is going to add muscle and muscle definition.
For the fastest and safest way to build muscle, do your work outs every other day instead of daily.This is because it gives the muscles time to repair, and that is the strength and definition that begins to be evident.
I learned that from "Muscle & Fitness" magazine, something you might enjoy.
Also, if you are looking into a heavy training regime, you will need to increase your protein intake.
Start out slow and easy to avoid injuries which will just slow you down, and learn how to warm up the muscles for the same reason.
Kudos to you, what a smart question !

Of course but not really in your arms like most people think. Push ups actually work the chest muscles more than the arms

It relies upon at this type of pushup you do. before everything, in no way do pushups on a daily basis! you elect your muscle tissues to relax, so take a time without work in between. additionally, a often happening pushup will paintings your chest, and the closer you convey your hands at the same time, you will paintings out your triceps. If doing those properly, by way of the years with protein and food plan, you will see muscle tissues initiate construction. in no way forget approximately to take a destroy the different day.

not really add muscle mass so much as make the existing muscles leaner. by making them leaner, it makes them look bigger.
