The pushup is arguably the most fundamental upper body exercise in calisthenics. It's a horizontal pressing movement that primarily targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps, while also engaging the core for stability.

What makes pushups so valuable is their scalability - from wall pushups for absolute beginners to advanced variations like one-arm pushups and explosive clapping pushups, there's a pushup variation for every fitness level.

Below you'll find comprehensive tutorials covering proper pushup technique, beginner progressions, and advanced variations to keep challenging yourself as you build strength and skill.
