    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.

    What should I do to stop pain in my shoulders while doing it?
    Community Answer
    Ice it, relax for a while, and consult your local physician. They know what's best, don't always trust the internet.

    I'm not Muslim, but I do these anyway. Is that against the Muslim religion?

    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.

    Where should I get sore if I perform this exercise right?

    Community Answer
    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.
