Benefits Of Weighted Push-Ups

Here's why you should try weighted push-ups just like Ananya Panday:  

1. Strengthens upper body

As the muscles in your chest, shoulders, and triceps work harder, it promotes greater strength leading to more defined upper body muscles.

2. Engages core and stability muscles

This exercise puts stress on your core, strengthening the abdominal and oblique muscles while improving overall balance and stability. 

3. Boosts muscle endurance

By doing weighted push-ups your muscles adapt to sustain effort for longer periods. This helps improve your stamina during workouts. 

4. Burns calories 

This workout is more intense than regular push-ups and demands more effort which ultimately leads to faster calorie burn by engaging multiple muscle groups simultaneously.

5. Strengthens bone density

Since weighted push-ups add an element of resistance, they place stress on the bones, stimulating bone growth and density. It also reduces the risk of osteoporosis
