hi there,

I have a question because others would say that your abdominal muscles are also affected by the workout, is that correct? I was just curious with another fitness trainer because he told me that push ups also work on abdominal muscles.

Thanks for sharing great info by the way. I can totally add this up on my workout routines

We do these in kung-fu, although call them “Chinese push ups”! Same exercise though, great for building strength and power, they work the ribs and forearms more than standard push ups.

Hindu Pushups: An Awesome Body Weight Exercise For The Chest

The Hindu Push-up is a good exercise for the abdomen too. This
exercise can be done alongwith the Suryanamaskar, a yogic exercise.
As I had been exercising for long I had never felt much exertion in
the guts, once I was doing Suryanamaskars with a lady, she reported
severe abdominal cramps the next day. On analysis I realised that
when the butt is raised up from the cobra position it puts some
strain on the abdomen. After some practice the Hindu push ups can
be done continuously so they also become a good aerobic session.
Village wrestlers in India do not use mats. A mud pit is dug and
the boys exercise and wrestle in the mud. This is very healthy for
the skin and removes excessive body hair too. The Hindu push up
(Dand), can be combined with the Hindu squat (Baithak)to form a
very effective whole body work-out. In this variation, a person
does a few push-ups comes to the crouching position and then does a
few squats, then returns to the push up position does some push ups
goes back to the squatting position and continues the cycle as per
his capacity. It does not take much imagination to realise what an
effective body weight exercise this variation is. Recommended for a
trial in the next exercise session.
