A earlier video confirmed Gul being very cutely interrupted by her son and pet canine as she did push-ups, she captioned the video, “May we all scale the various obstacles in the life long path to fitness, however cute they may be.”

 

Push-ups appear to be one in all Gul’s extra favoured type of train, and in October she had posted in regards to the completely different types of push-up she does. She posted a video of herself doing the train with the caption, “Narrow stance. I get a lot of comments on the ‘form’ when I post push up variations. They key is to do multiple variations of forms, friends. So in addition to the primary pectorals, one can train biceps, deltoids and trapezius too. So there’s technically no one correct form. The military push up is what most folks identify as the ‘correct’ form.”

 

In a video from July, Gul is seen doing push-ups as her pets Gina and Vegas laze round subsequent to her, and her music Nihal performs within the background. She wrote, “If there’s one exercise I could pick for its benefits , it would be the push up. Over the last few months, I’ve used a combination of different variations of pushups, squats and planks to keep fit. Body weight . No weights . And I’m fitter, leaner and stronger than ever before.”

 

She went on so as to add that those that practice professionally say, “one must do a variety of variations in the form of a particular exercise to activate all muscle groups and fibres. The push-up although primarily for pectorals , can also be used to effectively train triceps, biceps, deltoids, trapezius and even lats.”

She then defined that within the video she was doing “the narrow, elbows tucked in , stance. It activates the biceps and triceps in addition to the primary muscle group – the pectorals. A wider stance works the deltoids . A pike push-up works the traps, deltoids and lats. The diamond one ( that I can’t do) is the hardest. Incline and decline push ups train different sections of the pectoral muscle group. All can be done at home.” She concluded with sound advise, “Start small. Set realistic goals , and work your way up.”
