Does ChaLEAN Extreme have a lot of Pushups in the workouts or moves that you lean on your wrists?

There are pushups in chalean extreme workouts, but not in every workout. There are modifiers if you can't do them on your toes.

Hi, no, Chalene does very minimal amount of push UPS about 3-8 per week so its not likely to put any undue pressure on your wrists. If you cant do push up at all, simply substitute for another exercise :)

there are pushups in almost all the dvd.'s not a ton of push ups but a few sets of them

There are some push-ups. Depends on the workout you are doing. You can always modify the exercises to suit you. I would suggest If you have a problem with your wrists, you could do an elbow plank instead during the duration of the push up part of the work out. This way you are still working your whole body and not putting so much pressure on the wrists.

I'm 78 and have no cartilage left in my wrists and thumbs. With the Perfect Pushup Elite I am able to do yoga poses like plank and downward facing dog that I otherwise have to do on my fists or forearms. It's really a very well made, first rate product.

Not hard on hands or wrists, even though I have arthritis.... Hard on your back if your abs aren't already strong!!

You don't use the included resistance band until Beta cycle but i kind of hated the band. I liked using dumbbells way better. In the videos there is only one guy with the resistance band and everyone else is using dumbbells. I think a mat would be good on hard surfaces but probably not that great on carpet. I didn't use one at all.

its best just to go ahead and buy rhe weughts made for it while your at it. and no its constricting doing pushups anything but honestly I bought a bcg weightvest from academy and it was just as good if not better.

Yes, you can. You only need to turn your wrist slower and it will only maintain the RPM's that you want or need. As you get stronger, you will be able to increase the movement which will increase the RPM's accordingly. It's a great tool for rehab or increasing wrist strength.

it does for a co worker of mine, its the only way he can do pushups. I like this because its portable, and your adjust in mid extension if you feel discomfort. But I would test out the wrist pain issue with a couple regular dumbbells at the gym first, that way you dont spend the money if you dont have to. But it does allow your wrists to stay straight during all movement. You could always wrap your wrists too like a boxer for added support during it.

There are def bursts of cardio in them, but I would think a yoga pad or something would help and yes there push ups! They are good quick work outs, tho!

Repeated flexion of the wrist causes inflammation and looses wrists during heavy bench, deadlift and squating will aggravate those tendon around the elbow. I use these and they are excellent at stabilizing my wrists. It feel like a cast on each wrist at it prevents that flexion as I go heavy.

I occasionally find it rock back if I launch a pull up really quick. By rocking back I mean towards myself and barely off the ground.

Yes. You get a workout lifting it onto a table and then another one when using the resistance for your arm work!

I think it would feel odd and be difficult to achieve a full range of motion push up without the rotation. If you really prefer not to have rotation you can use free weights in place of the perfect pushup.

I don't know of any! But after you workout on it a couple of times and get the feel of it, I lean forward and change to leaning backwards and that really works my muscles. The reason I love it is because I have bad knees and there is no impact on them

The motion is different because you don't have the "push-off" with each step that you do when walking. However it is better because you have many different exercise motions that aren't available when walking, such as leaning forward, leaning back, even working it sideways. The Gazelle is great for people who have problems with impact exercise such as walking or running. The DVD of Gazelle exercises is a must to get the maximum from the Gazelle.

Yes, the whole movement starts with a strong push downwards with your legs. Once that first movement the rest is relatively easy but the first push is strong.

I would recommend giving these a try. The pain you are experiencing could be due to the fact that while doing regular pushups, your palm is flat on the floor and the angle of your wrist is extreme. With these, your wrist stays parallel with your arm, so there's no bending, thus, no stress on the wrist.

Before using these, and I still do, I use vinyl-covered hex-ended dumbells to do pushups with mostly in fitness classes and at the gym. Personally it is more comfortable to be able to put your hands at an angle that you like or want to work with. I have sort of bad wrists, and doing pushups with my hands flat on the ground is not comfortable for more than a few pushups. I can do far more with my hands wrapped around a handle like these or on dumbells.
