Question

Are push ups cardiovascular exercise

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed {\tt No}$

Explanation:

Cardiovascular exercise examples are running, brisk walking, and bicycling. Cardiovascular exercise must meet three requirements:

• Use major muscle groups
• Be rhythmic
• Maintained continuously

Push ups check off the first two, but it is usually difficult to maintain pushups continuously for five or more minutes.

Pushups are considered strength building exercises, not cardiovascular.
