What’s the worst body weight exercise for women over 50? Unless you have excellent body mechanics and awareness, chances are you’re doing more harm than good.
If you can’t do a pull up, don’t try a push up! Planks are, at least, less risky. Find the weight room or press your suitcase if you need a chest exercise!

Thank you! I recently started doing push ups during a week away from the gym. I will def stop that.
Does this happen to teen females too?
This woman has a nice set. Yum!
😮
She needs to zip up her jacket.
I can do 20 mens consecutive push ups and I’m 67. I didn’t know it could be injurious.
Incredible information! As it so happens, I never wanted to be able to do a push-up anyway. Now I have my absolute best excuse! Thank you so much! Onto the next.
My jaw hit the floor because I have a torn rotator and I ignored the soreness after doing men’s push-ups. And now I’m suffering for it… I’m 69 years old and was doing well but I overdid it with TRX and barre then yoga couple times a week each. I will heal but I am definitely changing my routines. Thank you!
i can’t even do them anyway. Been tryng but not been consistent in trying. Thanks for this. Maybe ill put my efforts in something else
Beautiful women…❤
