The BEST PUSH UP EXERCISE PERSONALISATION WITH
LONDON ELITE PERSONAL TRAINER
When you work with the best personal trainer in London you will learn that the classic push-ups exercise area is a magnificent weight loss exercise and an excellent way to increase the strength and size of your chest, arms and achieve a strong torso and core.
Push up variations are very important and are used in most of London personal training programmes. Push-ups can be done anywhere and any best personal trainer in London should use push up variations to support you losing weight fast, safe and naturally.

Your London Personal trainer needs to fully focus on getting you stronger, increase your fitness, endurance, body performance and overall to support you to achieve that slender and lean attractive, tall body physique and correct posture which always makes a great impression when you meet other people and which most of the people are genuinely looking to achieve in their personal life and business.
Push ups exercise personalisation, – a honest personal prospective about the personal trainer London landscape
If you trained athletes as I do and need to tweak your personal training programme around a few injuries, in order to lose some weight or for these athletes to achieve their best and avoid further injuries you know already that ALL EXERCISES must be fully personalised to the client requirements.
When it comes to push ups if you don’t want to end up with an injury here is some advice from me.
Usually, – when you exercise with a personal trainer they design a personal training programme based on increasing the performance of some of the major muscle groups.
Most of the time this includes chest and back exercises, biceps, triceps and arms generally, some legs, cardiovascular training and overall torso exercise might be included within your programme.
However while work on the major muscle groups are important, – when it comes to correct push ups exercises I advise you to pay more attention to push ups AND exercise personalisation towards push up than just push ups variations.

Why exercise personalisation towards push ups are important
This is because if you desire to maximise your push ups exercise and strength but have any shoulder, chest, core or triceps imbalance or even a slight pain in any of the upper body areas (many times these are not just unspotted but also unrated and are just one stop away from a “crash” just borderline to developing an injury) you may need to take a different route using different exercises like personalised cross training exercise programmes therefore, – for a little while your push ups becomes secondary within your push up strength programme.
More of the same is not better but, – better is better!
Push up variations are not always the correct answer to your goals to increase the size of your chest and arms and overall torso performance and while I value this exercise very much I always find complete exercise personalisation maximising my client goals as being the ultimate solution to any goal they desire to achieve, – not just a focused push ups programme.

Push ups starting form
Place yourself in a nice, elegant and correct plank shape position and keep your hips straight during the push up, keep your abdominals semi engaged, maintain a neutral spine, long neck and if you feel that your core is challenged make sure you engage more your gluts (buttocks).
However as you will flex your elbows lowering your body towards the ground and push strong back if you notice that your arms, shoulder or any part of your back starts to hurt stop the exercise immediately and put yourself into a comfortable position. Work with Jazz Alessi, the best personal trainer in Canary Wharf, Kensington, Islington, Hackney, London Bridge, and Shoreditch province.

Exercise personalisation – achieve an efficient, stronger and cleaner push up form
Personally training my London clients means that we really enjoy targeting different muscle groups using different types of push ups in accordance with their body type, individualities, short term targets, long term goals and needs.
When I personally train my clients exercise personalisation always comes first therefore my focus is always on the client benefits and what the client really needs and not on a generalised personal training programme as I see that many clients get before they train with me from training with other London personal trainers and exercise coaches.
Avoiding injuries while maximising both time and strength are very important and these are just three reasons why push up exercise variation needs to come after exercise personalisation targeting the exercise form first and when required introducing a cross training individualised programme.
Your London personal trainer might need to use other types of relevant exercises required (this may be varied body conditioning, muscle activation, functional movements, elastic bands, cable work, Pilates or even Yoga) in order to achieve greater core and balance for your body, to increase your body flexibility and the range of your movement where muscles and joints always move with ease.
Those strategies are speeding up smartly and indirectly your fitness levels maximising your weight loss programme while you are staying focused and having lots of fun using Pilates Personal Training or a smartly designed cross training approach, – sky-rocketing the specific type of performance that you are looking for.
A Holistic, Wholesome approach to creating strong muscle mass and enviable upper body physique
One of the things I really love about push ups is that with the correct personalisation and coaching you can achieve everything that you desire like getting bigger, stronger chest, arms, torso and efficient core, – do not require any type of equipment at all, – just very experienced and correct coaching.
By this I don’t mean someone who just does push up, – chest, arms, triceps, upper body strength but more than this – is a professional who understands that beautiful body proportion and balance people are looking for and this expertise is much more than someone who just does push ups.
The best London personal trainer look holistically to your body posture, alignment, body type, metabolism, activity levels, core strentgh and lifestyle while talking into account any muscle imbalance, discomfort, pain or injuries, – has long term experience in integrating cross training exercises while personalising everything to address your personal challenges and maximise all your targets and goals.
The best personal training programme will always be looking for a holistic and performance based approach which maximises your body changes getting you that tall, strong, attractive and lean physique, – addressing all your individualised challenges using your time wisely to maximise both short term targets and long terms goals.

Which muscle groups are used in push ups exercises?
Some of the major muscles group situated in the upper body which can be made to work very efficiently, correctly and harmoniously with the support of the best personal trainer in London during a push up are:
Pectoralis but especially the pectoralis major although all pectoralis parts can be targeted
Deltoids (shoulder muscles targeted differently through variations and exercise personalisation)
Triceps muscle (can make up nearly 2/3 of the arm muscle mass)
Serratus anterior muscle – situated at the back of the chest close to your armpit this is a very important muscle that I find is switched off in most of the clients I train
Abdominal muscles strengthening your core by helping the body brace itself
Coracobrachialis muscles which runs from the shoulder blade to the upper arm
As you can see push ups exercises can be both simple and complex, the build up form, execution and programme could both lead to increased performance or in some cases to a sustained long term injuries or injury aggravation.
This is why anytime I work with a new client whether these are medical doctors, models, fashion designers, police officers, lawyers or world champions, and high class athletes I take them through what I know to be the most comprehensive assessment fitness, comprehensive lifestyle and advanced nutrition assessment to get maximum clarity on their current situation and to fully build the bridge in the most safest way to the new goals that they desire to achieve.
Make sure you get the best return on your money by working directly with someone who’s very proficient in using a holistic and performance based integrated approach, cross training exercises (ideally an ex-athlete), has a very strong track record and his clients are very happy with the goals that they achieved and are benefiting from extensive support services as I offer.
