Pushups are destroying your child!!! 

So, you make your child do push-ups. Your goal is to get them active and moving. However, if all you’re doing is pushups, you’re creating more of a problem than you’re helping. We’ve trained many kids that we’ve had to help correct their posture.

Most kids, and people for that matter, have rolled shoulders. That means the shoulder are forward, leaving a bit of a rounded upper back. This is caused by many things. But desk work and excessive electronics usage are large contributes to this.

If you’re doing pushups, make sure you do something to strengthen the upper back/ rear deltoid muscles as well. Like my daughter Olivia is showing. This will help relieve future problems for your kids. As well as helping create a better overall workout for them.
