    I'm a Muslim and I don't want any push-ups invented by Christians or Hindus who are all infidels. Can you describe Islamic push-up methods?
    Community Answer
    I myself am Muslim and want you to know that there are no such things as Islamic, Hindu, or Christian push-ups. These push-ups can also be called "seal push-ups" or "dands." They were not invented by Hindus - this is just the name they were given. You can do these, there is nothing wrong with them in the Islamic view.

    Ice it, relax for a while, and consult your local physician. They know what's best, don't always trust the internet.

    No, this push up form is thousands of years old, and there is no such thing as a Hindu push up or Christian push-up or Muslim push up. It is not Hindu, it is Sanatani, meaning without a beginning or end. This is an exercise which everyone can do.

    The movement targets a lot of muscles in the body: biceps, triceps, chest, shoulders, abs and back. Doing it at higher speed will increase strength as well as flexibility.
