Push-ups (俯卧撑) are arguably the most classic move in fitness-and for good reason. For one thing, a no-equipment exercise means you can break into a workout no matter where you are. And if you’re going to do just one move, push-ups are a good choice.     1     Not bad for such a simple move!

But here’s the thing: Push-ups aren’t quite as simple as they seem.     2     And if you want to get the result, it’s key to get the form right. A proper push-up requires you to keep your back straight like a board, maintaining that form while you lower yourself to the floor. If you’ve been doing 20 push-ups at a time but your back is arched (拱形的), you’re just working against yourself. And you won’t get the results you’re looking for. Bad form puts you at risk for injury.

    3     It completely changes the mechanics (力学), and most people do it wrong with knees. Bad form can hurt your shoulders and back. Instead, keep your feet on the floor as usual, but place your hands on a raised surface, like a chair. Beginners should start with three sets of five, working slowly and concentrating on upper-body move.     4    .

Once you’ve mastered three sets of ten, move to a lower surface, like a step platform. Again, aim for three sets of ten before moving on to your final goal: a standard floor push-up.     5     When you get into full push-ups, you should see your arms getting more firm.

A.Push-ups improve your strength.
B.Most beginners like to practice knee push-ups.
C.You’ll feel your arms getting more firm—that’s the right result.
D.Mastering the full upper-body move is actually pretty advanced.
E.It’s not something you should expect to do right from the beginning.
F.Not only do they work your arms, but they also work your chest and shoulders.
G.Even if you can only do five, you’ll be noticeably stronger than when you started out.

【推荐1】Playing basketball requires natural skill.     1     if you properly condition your body, practice with the right drills, and master the mental aspects of the game. Good basketball players put in the effort and training that it takes to get better on the court, and they have the personality characteristics that coaches appreciate.

    2     Some experts believe the ability to handle the ball well is the most important skill in the game. You shouldn't have to think too hard about dribbling the ball if you practice a lot. A good way to improve this skill is through dribbling drills.

Master your passing ability. Passing is a skill that basketball players must master.     3     One is a chest pass in which you throw the ball to your teammate without it bouncing. The second is a bounce pass, in which you bounce the ball once when throwing it to your teammate. This is the hardest pass for a defender to stop.

Better your shooting. The shooters get a lot of the glory, and they are obviously critical to the game. But you don't want to be in a situation where people are blocking your shots or you miss a lot of them.     4    

Condition your body. Speed, quickness, verticality, strength, and stamina can turn any skill deadly just by simply giving you the advantage over an opponent physically.     5     They are designed for basketball offensive players to condition their body, not just exercises like you might do for fun.

C.There are two basic ways to pass.
D.But you can have enjoyment from it.
