So you're saying balanced workouts are better than just pushups alone. I agree. But, in lieu of being able to do a full body workout at your desk, I think pushups are a good alternative to keep the blood flowing. Just be conscious to stretch occasionally.
- dredmorbius 15y agoI'd suggest something like burpees as a better alternative. Whole-body movement, may incorporate push-ups, but you're also getting a full triple extension (ankle, knee, hip), and at least some posterior-chain activation. If you're doing other movements at other times (including rows), the push-ups are fine. You don't have to balance your movements at the same time -- alternating days or workouts would be sufficient.
