Answer by  Olive (1195)

Definitely-they are a great way to build up your strength. You can start slowly and work towards increasing the number of pushups. Plus, they can be done almost anywhere-a cheap, effective way to do strength training.

Push ups are excellent for training strength because they work so many different muscles. Push ups will increase strength in your biceps, your deltoid muscles, both lower and upper Latissimus muscles, your pectoral muscles, and, depending on which form of push up you do, you can gain tricep strength.

Push ups are great for strength training because you are making your pecs, delts and triceps work hard to get your body weight up off the floor. Another bonus is that you can do them anywhere and modify them, depending on your current fitness level.
