All it takes is putting your hands on the floor beneath your shoulders and balancing on the balls of your feet before you lower your body and push yourself back up as fast as possible. Not that hard at all, right? Well, do enough push-ups and you're likely to start feeling pain in your wrists. It doesn't happen to everyone, but those who haven't quite perfected their form know exactly what I'm talking about. And so does Alden Mills, a former Navy SEAL who introduced America to the Perfect Push-up, a device that - as its name states - helps you pull off the perfect push-up while taking pressure off your wrists. When doing regular push-ups on the floor, most people tend to bend their wrists, placing a huge amount of body weight on their palms. The Perfect Push-up keeps your wrists straight as you perform the exercise, resulting in less stress on your joints. Unlike a lot of fitness products you see on TV, the Perfect Push-up really does deliver on its claims. But if you've already mastered your push-up form, it might not be the best product for you. Using a device like this might add some unnecessary awkwardness to the mix. Plus, you'd be paying $20 to do a body weight exercise that doesn't require equipment or cost a penny. But if you suffer from wrist problems or aren't always sure if your form is correct, the Perfect Push-up can help reduce discomfort after your workout.
