👉 The push-up is one of the best bodyweight exercises for building upper-body and core strength, but it’s often performed with poor form.
One of the most common mistakes is arching the lower back during the ascent.
This usually happens as you push up, the hardest part of the movement, when the chest and core are weaker and struggle to keep proper alignment.
✅ Fix it:
Keep your body in one straight line throughout the movement.
Lower your knees to the floor to maintain proper form while building strength.
