Cori, I just want to say, after studies in Pre-Physical Therapy, a certification in Massage Therapy, and a Master's Degree in Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture - you lay out information on calisthenics warmp, activation, form, and strength training better than anyone I've met. So many people water down their videos that the information is not concentrated and voluminous enough that both an understanding of the topic as well as it's context is achieved. You give a lot of information in a short amount of time, and I LOVE IT. I've had a really hard time with developing an ongoing progressive calisthenics training, and from your videos (I've watched like 6-7 tonight) I believe now I know why! THANK YOU for doing what you are doing! I really appreciate you!
It took me 1 year of working at it every day to do my first push up. I started with wall push ups, then girl push ups. I was really hard but it has been a life long goal. Learning how great push ups are for you and its a full body workout and my husband cheering me on with Gods strength I did it. I am still continuing to do it.
Your coaching style is exceptional. You are one of the very few trainers who know how to demonstrate a fully extended push-up. Your form is rock solid, and you're a rock star teacher. Keep up the outstanding work.
Thank you! After a week of doing some of the tips, I saw some improvements and i can do 5 full push ups now. 💪🏼 at the same time it is improving my running and sit ups. 🙂
I love your presentation style. It gets a lot of good content in, with quick example illustrations, and the video just moves you right along to the end with great efficiency! Thank you!
Hi Cori. Excellent video and great technique. You are a terrific teacher. If would be great if you could expand a bit on hand position. I was trained to rotate my palms outward about 15 degrees when I do full extension push-ups. That hand position is very comfortable and I'm wondering how that might impact my workout doing push-ups compared to your vertical palm alignment, parallel to the body.
Great teacher great instructions and knowledge of fitness great video great channel great content great athlete great motivation and inspiration keep doing what you're doing and i hope to see alot more videos from you
I'm watching your "perfect Pushup" video. MOST people aren't as observant as I am. Right away, I caught your sitting position and posture. I mastered "Full Lotus" at age 17. At age 70, I meditate every morning mixed with Tai Chi, Qigong, Aikido and of course Weight lifting until I BURN. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! 🙏☯️🪢
Hi, Cory! Greetings from Colombia. I really admire your strength! You're so inspiring 💪. I'd love to see a video where we can exercise simultaneously with you! 🤗🤗🤗
By the way, I have a question for you! due to my personal aesthetic preferences I wanted to lose some muscle mass from my arms. I’ve been lifting for three years, and have gained a lot of mass especially in my delts.!Should I just be focused on doing cardio and lower body exercises? Thanks!
My pleasure! I would consider diet too. Diet has a lot to do with how much we gain or lose. And you could consider some upper body cardio post lifting. In terms of spot reduction as we know it, it doesn't exist. HOWEVER, studies have show that if we target an area to mobilize the fatty acids there THEN use cardio or compound moves to utilize those mobilized fatty acids, we can lose weight off of more specific areas aka spot lipolysis.
Great details Cory! All the things I've done wrong. I do them mostly right now but now I understand the how the core, back, and shoulders are engaged and how we compensate for it all.
Great video, love your channel. Can you suggest some warm up & cool down exercises to do before and after push ups to help prevent shoulder and elbow pain, please?
Excelente explicación ! Me motiva ver tu condición física, la técnica con la que realizas tus rutinas y la forma en la que en vídeos como éste detallas un ejercicio, gracias !!! Me faltaba agregar que igual me encantan por ese adorable pequeñito peludo que siempre le da el toque final a los videos, un abrazo y besos para ti y para él . Bye, bye
I loved the exercise so much that I used to do 1200 in an hour then stopped it for 2 years, I have picked it now once again. Again started 5 a day and have reached 235 in an hour by yesterday. I increase 5 push-ups every week and do only push-ups for 5 days a week.
so I am so out if shape and want to get my mojo back after a breakup of a long term relationship, you throw out all of the muscle names but I do not know where these muscles are. any way you could, highlight the muscle you are talking about as you mention it Thank You TA
A Push up is something I have always found so difficult to do. I would love to be able to do a few of these for my arms but the last time I tried I managed about 4 and then had a bad elbow for the next week..........
I was taught push ups by old school Romanian circus coaches and for some reason now I do push ups with my elbows tucked into my sides- what is your opinion on this? you mentioned "not necessarily keeping your elbows by your sides". (I am researching form for a push up challenge! )
I just can’t do it😔😢I have pushup tests for PE and I mess up. It’s just not something I’m physically able to do. I’m extremely thin and my arms aren’t strong enough😫
Actually, the best pushup is pushUPS---Plural! In other words, when I do pushups, I change the angle, and distance of my arms. It's this Muscular angulation that increases strength AND definition.
Because her elbows tilt outwards. Elbows shouldn't tilt. At 01:08 look her forearm is bent outwards. It shouldn't bend at all. It should be completely straight, neither bending backwards nor bending sideways. A good way of avoiding this is to keep your hands beside your nipples.
I've been doing push ups for months now and I feel that every time I do them, somehow I use a different form. I don't know why? I feel like I'm the only who has this problem. Anyway, I'm gonna try your starting position and hopefully I get a stable form.
Without seeing your form I can't necessarily comment on that, but depending on what workouts you've done prior it could even be that you "feel" certain muscles more because of the previous work.
I'm left handed and whenever I do inclined pushup (I can't do full at all) my left forearm and wrist ache.I try to go with right form but maybe I lose it due to unbalanced muscles strength in left and right.😟
Hi, I'm a leftie too. I tend to do the 'hook' where my hand and wrist are sitting above my writing so I can keep the letters uptight and not smudge the ink as my hand drags across the page. It can cause a lot of tension in my forearm and hamper my wrist mobility. Do you do the hook too? Stretching the forearm, flexing and rolling the wrist and taking breaks when writing a lot helps. Good luck.
Angela Separovic I often type rather than writing but whatever I do the most load is on my left side (even typing) and I can't help it. Sometimes my wrist and shoulders clicks with rotating
And all this time I've been doing "cheater" push-ups when I thought I was doing the one exercise everyone was always amused u could do...no wonder they would of been impressed I could do 40 of these! 😭

Push up=Moving plank Thats really nice perspective.
Thanks!
Very helpful
She is absolutely correct

Fantastic tips and explanation. I’ve been working out for years and this has always been my weakest. Like the regression techniques. Thank you! 💪
Saw a lot of vids with millions of views and likes, but this video gives helpful knowledge than those. Thank you!!

Good information! The next time I do push ups, I will pay attention to all of my body cues to make sure I"m doing it right.
Awesome! Makes me so happy to hear Susie!
Ma'am this is what I always wanted to master Thank you You really are inspire me to have a toned body GOD bless you
It's me again, 8 months post op from rotator cuff surgery. Very helpful and informative! Thank you
Very clear and instructional. Thanks and learnt a lot!
You are the best
Wow this was incredibly helpful. I’ve just started doing pushups on an incline (arms are weak AF!) and I’ll defo be integrating your advice!!
Your clevage is nice my dear

This was so helpful to watch. Thanks for sharing great tips. To the bench!!
:-) Have fun! hehe
Thanks. Well explained. No one never taught me like this. I understand now how to get the most out of my pushups
Great details Cory! All the things I've done wrong. I do them mostly right now but now I understand the how the core, back, and shoulders are engaged and how we compensate for it all.
Thanks so much! I think we've all been guilty so need the reminder! Glad you've worked on your push ups!
Wow! And now is when I learn why I can knock out push ups from the knees but can’t even do one basic straight leg push up. Love all your content
Great work thanks 👍😊
This was excellent. thank you
I feel like my upper body is too heavy and I can't push my body up, so I never do a proper push-up :((
That's why you need to start off an incline and use that to reduce the resistance as you build up.
Do from your knees and or place ur hands at a height
Very helpful. Thanks!
Love this! Thank you for all the progressions! Clear instructions. Im going to do these!
Glad it helps Sue!
Amazing video .Loved it .
Cori your the best...Thank you for the info 💪😊
My pleasure! Hope it helps!
This helped me so much! I want to work towards doing a superman push up but I need to work on my form and strength first with a regular push up
These will definitely help and then you can start doing some more plyometric variations to progress from there!
Best mastering push up video I've seen. Thanks.
Thank you! Glad it helps!
I love u and ur methods because u make then easy but pthr try to make exercise complicated n harder
Thumb.....ups dear
Thank you for putting this video up, I figured out how I was going wrong with my push-ups with this video.
Great video, love your channel. Can you suggest some warm up & cool down exercises to do before and after push ups to help prevent shoulder and elbow pain, please?
Thank you so much for the clarity! I am thinking now that I can work up to a pain free push up. Going to try at the wall for a week. 💗
Thank you so much Cori
Perfect form, nice to see it
Thank you so much
I could just watch you do push ups all day! You're amazing!
U are absolutely correct that pushup is a moving plank
Excelente explicación !

Could you please also explain how many of these exercises needs to be perform to really gain that muscle look in arms.
Thank you this helps! My weakness! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you! Learning something new every time I watch your videos 👍💪
Great video ! When pulling the shoulders down do you keep the tension in the back through out the movement
Good Workout
Thank you! Needed this!
Glad it helps!
Great video as always. Love it and I love your top, where could I get it?

Bro ye didi ka form galat hai, inka elbow tedha ho ja rha hai. Elbow hamesha sidha rehna chahiye, warna chest pe pressure nahi padega.
I needed this lesson
Well done ... as always!! Cheers!! :D
Thanks!
Great video.
Do you recommend using Push up grips?
If you want or potentially have wrist issues they can be good.
great video , thanks
Thanks!
so I am so out if shape and want to get my mojo back after a breakup of a long term relationship, you throw out all of the muscle names but I do not know where these muscles are. any way you could, highlight the muscle you are talking about as you mention it Thank You TA
A Push up is something I have always found so difficult to do. I would love to be able to do a few of these for my arms but the last time I tried I managed about 4 and then had a bad elbow for the next week..........
Then you need to work on shoulder and wrist mobility first. Check out my wrist and elbow pain video.
I will check it out......thank you
Awesome instructions! Not doing it on my knees anymore! Is the TRX a good option too?
Awesome! Depending on how you use the TRX it can advance the movement. It does also add instability!
Really helpful tips, thank you
YAY! Glad they help!

Squats are DEFINITELY on the list! :-)
You are so great! Thank you.

excellent always x
Please please please, do a programme with follow along workouts! You can take my money!
Thank you!!!
Thanks for a great tutorial :)

Ok queen on point
I have given up on push up, I just do plank hold plus other plank hold variation....maybe when my weight become lighter I will try again😀
Can you make video on hip flexors?
Super 👌❤️
Great tips, tfs
Thanks!
what if you have a big but how would that look? like in the position because it never turns out straight even if I straighten my body
thank you.

Here I go😊. Thanks!
Hope it helps!

The audio is excellent. May I know what cordless microphone you are using (Brand, Model No. etc). Thank you.
Thanks! It's an audio technica atw1701
@@redefiningstrengthOC You are always helpful 👍
I just can’t do it😔😢I have pushup tests for PE and I mess up. It’s just not something I’m physically able to do. I’m extremely thin and my arms aren’t strong enough😫
How
I wanted to as redefining strength that how many push ups can u do in total
No idea. Don't often do a max rep test :-)
Everything she said makes sense. She has an amazing physique so she obviously knows what she's talking about.
Thanks! Although I feel my knowledge about push ups is unrelated to my look hehe as that is more nutrition :-)
Love you.

Hi.. Can u make a similar video on deadlifts???...
I actually have one on my Facebook page but for sure :-)
Oh... That was really quick....Thank u so much....And u doing a fab job...👍
Thanks!
when I use this form I dont really feel it on my pecs anymore....more lats...why?
Because her elbows tilt outwards. Elbows shouldn't tilt. At 01:08 look her forearm is bent outwards. It shouldn't bend at all. It should be completely straight, neither bending backwards nor bending sideways.
A good way of avoiding this is to keep your hands beside your nipples.
Thank you. . I'm going to try this out
Awesome!
my core is already shaking just by watching, no, literally, not joking, i feel it quivering already. and nope, the toilet is not calling for me hahaha
how many of the inclined push ups should you do per day?
I've been doing push ups for months now and I feel that every time I do them, somehow I use a different form. I don't know why? I feel like I'm the only who has this problem. Anyway, I'm gonna try your starting position and hopefully I get a stable form.

I kinda just go down and then fall down and can’t get up RIP
I can do push-ups just pretty hard as I get older
