Gym machines don't exercise your stabilization muscles, and they only work one muscle at a time.

When you do pushups (if you do them right), you exercise your triceps, shoulders, biceps, back muscles, and your pectorals all in one go.

Calisthenics are amazing and completely underutilized in today's gym-heavy environment. Did you notice that the military doesn't use gym equipment at all? Ever wonder why?




"biceps, back muscles" how?
