Why

Mini Push-Ups help strengthen and tone your arms, chest and shoulders. Strength training, when done consistently over time, may improve blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels, weight, body composition, sleep and mood — as well as reduce the deterioration of white matter in the brain, according to a review from the American Heart Association reported in Circulation in 2023.
