The Perfect Pushup Product Review

Always a sucker for products sold on TV, I was intrigued when I saw an infomercial for the Perfect Pushup. I quickly ordered one. My husband and I were excited to give it a try. The perfect pushup introduces a new way to do an old exercise, pushups.

The rotating handles on the Perfect Pushup are what sets it apart from regular pushups. Your arms turn the same way they would when punching or using dumbbells, allowing for more natural movement, and alleviating strain on wrists and elbows. This also allows for more muscles to be engaged than normally would when doing a regular pushup.

The Perfect Pushup quickly arrived. My first reaction was, "It's plastic?" I was not concerned about the durability for myself, but for my 215+ lb. husband. I was pleasantly surprised. Although the base was plastic, the handles were strong and durable. The bottom of the Perfect Pushup has rubber grippers on an eight inch base to keep it from sliding while doing the pushups. I even tried it on my hardwood floors. It didn't scratch the floor, or move while I was doing my pushups.

The Perfect Pushup comes with a chart demonstrating proper pushup techniques and a workout plan that you can customize, derived from Navy Seal drills. You can also purchase an instructional DVD for an additional $14.95. I did not find the DVD necessary, but you may like it if you are planning on getting more in depth with your pushups.

My favorite feature about the Perfect Pushup is that you can actually feel it working deep into your chest, back, shoulders, bicep, triceps and even the abdominal muscles. Because your hands are off the floor, you are able to go deeper than you normally would with a regular pushup. The pressure on the wrist, elbow and shoulders are reduced in comparison to a regular pushup.

As an exercise enthusiast, I was surprised to find myself sore the day after I first used the Perfect Pushup. My husband experienced the same results and poured sweat while using it. I pride myself as a female in being able to do military style pushups with my knees off the ground. Yes, I have a tendency to cheat and not use proper form when I do them. The Perfect Pushup takes the cheating out of it, and forces you to use proper form.

It will not make females have a bulky look. It will give you a sculpted upper body, firm abs, and do the same for men. This product is not going to help you loose weight alone. Although the Perfect Pushup combined with cardiovascular activity, and a sensible nutrition plan will.

I am pleased with the Perfect Pushup. My first impression was that it did not look durable. I was proven wrong. It is durable, and has helped my husband and me attain a sculpted upper body. Give it a try. Your pushups will never be the same again!
