what are the benefits of girls doing push-ups?

Question

for guys, i know push-ups can work wonders for their arms, back and pectoral areas. but how about for girls? i understand, arms and back. but does it do anything bad to our chests? i've heard it flattens it out. from others i heard it makes them better shaped.

which one is it because they are both extremely different answers!!

Answer 1

perkier boobs

Answer 2

Push ups are fine for females. It strengthens and tones the arms and pecs. Each person is different. That's why some people look like the hulk and others like bruce lee.

Answer 3

I know that push ups have done wonders for my boobs after having 2 kids they kinda went south. Doing push ups have definately made them perkier. Sure my boobs were bigger when I carried moree weight but as i dropped weight the smaller my boobs got sorry I guess that's just 1 disadvantage of losing weight.

Answer 4

Biceps, forearms, abs, glutes, thighs....the list goes on. Push ups can help a lot of the things most girls want to perfect about their body.

Answer 5

Look at lady body builders. Most of their chest are flat. Same for world class lady swimmers. Breast consist mainly of fats. When you are doing workout that build muscle, you are converting fats into muscle. That's why fat people can easily build big muscles, compared to skinny people.

Loosing weight also makes the chest flatter.

Answer 6

UR right for guys it works wonder but my gym instructor have told me that they weren't ideal for girls, they spread the fat away from the chest, often contributes in making the bones very apparent. There are many exercise using the weight barbel that is more ideal to shape your upper body.

Answer 7

Make it's easier for you to get on all fours.
