Airpad Push-up

Video coming soon...

The airpad Push-up workout is a chest-focused exercise routine that utilizes an air-filled pad.

The airpad adds instability, forcing the chest muscles to work harder for stabilization during the push-up movement.

This increased activation of the chest muscles helps to strengthen and tone the pectoral muscles effectively.

While the airpad also engages the core and other supporting muscles, its primary focus is on the chest muscles.

Place the airpad on the floor and kneel down in front of it.
Position your hands shoulder-width apart on the airpad, fingers pointing forward.
Extend your legs behind you, keeping your body in a straight line from head to toe.
Lower your chest towards the airpad by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your body.
Pause briefly when your chest is just above the airpad.
Push through your hands to straighten your arms, lifting your body back up to the starting position.
Repeat the exercise by bending your elbows and lowering your chest towards the airpad again.

Position your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart on the airpad, ensuring your fingers are spread wide for maximum stability and engagement of the chest muscles. Keep your wrists aligned with your shoulders to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
Engage your core by drawing your belly button towards your spine, creating a strong foundation for your push-ups. This will not only strengthen your abdominal muscles but also help stabilize your body, allowing you to focus on targeting your chest muscles effectively.
As you lower your body towards the airpad, keep your elbows at a 45-degree angle to your torso. This angle will emphasize the activation of your chest muscles, preventing excessive strain on your shoulders. Lower yourself with control, feeling the stretch in your chest before pushing back up.
Focus on maintaining a straight line from your head to your heels throughout the exercise. Avoid sagging your hips or lifting your buttocks too high, as this can compromise the engagement of your chest muscles. Imagine a plank position, with your body forming a perfect line, and maintain this alignment during each repetition.
Remember to breathe rhythmically throughout the exercise, inhaling as you lower your body towards the airpad and exhaling as you push back up. This controlled breathing not only provides oxygen to your muscles but also helps you maintain focus and rhythm, enhancing your overall performance.</
