Hindu Push Ups - One of the Best Exercises Ever
This exercise works the entire upper body and gives a aerobic effect as well.
This does not take the place of aerobic exercise but many people simply do not do any strength training at all. That's a mistake.
By simply adding this exercise and doing about 3 sets of as many as you can do 3 - 4 times a week, you can add a lot of strength and firmness to your upper body. Keep in mind muscle burns fat.
The bottom line is push ups are a tremendous exercise and hindu push ups simply take it to the next level.

Hindu Pushup or Dive Bomber?
What's the difference Bob?
Basically the hindu pushup and the dive bomber are the same with one exception.
When you finish the first part and are stretched out, for the hindu style you simply return direct to the starting position. When doing the dive bomber, you go in reverse, dropping down to the pushup position and pushing back to the starting position.
Which is best?
They both work. I think the hindu pushup works the shoulders more and the dive bomber works the arms more. I do both for a good, solid overall upper body workout.

What About the Hindu Pushup vs. Swissball Pushup?
I've been asked that a number of times. My answer is -
I really like doing pushups on an exercise ball. The instability of the ball makes your arms and your core muscles work hard and I love the pump. At Exercise Digest I discuss this a little more.
As to the question comparing it to the Hindu pushup; one of the reasons I said the Hindu pushup is one of the greatest strength training exercises ever is because there is no equipment so you can easily do it anywhere, even while on vacation.
Now I believe in variety so mixing these various pushups is not a bad idea. But personally, when I do my regular workout I do swiss ball pushups and alternate them with my dumbbell curls. I still do hindu pushups and/or dive bombers in the evening before going to bed or first thing in the morning. It all depends on my mood.
I leave it to you to make the decision as to which you like the best.

Dive Bombers vs Hindu Push up
I've recently began to alternate a set of divebombers and a set of hindu push ups each workout. You can feel the pump in different parts of your body after you do each.
The only difference is in the dive bombers you reverse the way you finish the push up. This actually makes you do a push up on completion.

What If You Combined Hindu Pushups with Turbulence Training?
OK. Hindu pushups are great if you need to do one single exercise. Let me tell you - do turbulence training and combine it with hindu push ups, and watch out! Transform your body like you never thought possible.
Watch this video for just a sample, then go to More Turbulence Training to get more information on slashing your training time with high intensity exercise.
Let me tell you right off the bat though. Turbulence Training is not for everyone. It requires intense effort. Yep - you can slash your exercise time and you will continue to burn fat when completed. I only added this here as I have had numerous requests for additional exercise and for overall body training. My running periods have been cut to 20 minutes from 45 minutes following this type training, and I am in better shape than ever.

Another Thing About Hindu Pushups
There is another thing I like about hindu pushups. You really can do them anywhere and anytime. In other words, yo don't have to setup a workout time to do them.
Last night as I watched the Browns on Monday Night Football, I would do 10 hindu pushups each time the Browns scored. When the game was over, I was heading to bed nice and pumped up. Not to mention the Browns won. :-)
I do my regular exercise routine and always do these separately, pretty much when I feel like it, but making sure to do them at least 3 times a week.

Wanta Try a Killer Hindu Pushups Workout?
This is a toughie. Set your timer for 5 minutes and get ready to pump those muscles.
Do as many pushups as you can. Rest for 20 seconds, then do as many as you can and, once again rest . . . . . you will do this for 5 minutes.
Now, the chances are you will need a longer rest period in the beginning, but when you get to the point of doing this 5 minute workout as described, you are going to feel muscles you never knew you had.

Hindu Push Ups with the Perfect Pushup?
Oh man! I just started doing the hindu push ups using the Perfect Pushup device. These are handles that rotate as you do a push up.I'm telling you, this takes this to a new level. I've only had 2 workouts so far but my chest has that ache you feel when you get a good workouts, as do my shoulders and arm muscles.
I'll keep you informed on this but my initial reaction is --- Outstanding!!

- Without a doubt these are terrific. I know Furey seems to get upset when anyone mentions Dive bombers though, but I have no idea why. They are terrific as well and add a different stress to the body. I do both. I can do more hindu pushups than dive bombers though. Wonder what Matt would say about that. :-)

Hedging my Bet on Hindu Push Ups
Don't get me wrong. I still think the hindu push ups are among the best overall exercises you can do and highly recommend you add them to your exercise routine.But after adding pull ups to my routine this past year, I thought you should know that pull ups are definitely an exercise you need to seriously consider as well.
Things change and I still do my hindu pushups regularly, but you need to keep up with what works if you are wanting to get the most effective workout you can. So when you finish this article, head over to Exercise Tips and read all my updates. If you want to exercise at home and want those exercises to be effective, go there and bookmark it to keep up to date. I plan many changes in 2010 that will greatly help you max out your exercise routine.
