Log your push-ups in 2 seconds. Watch the streak grow. Don't break the chain. The free push-up app for anyone who wants to start — and actually keep going.
A push-up is a bodyweight pressing exercise: lower your chest toward the ground from a high-plank position, then push back up. It works your chest, shoulders, triceps, and core — the four muscle groups that shape the visible upper body. No equipment, no gym, no excuse.
100 push-ups a day sounds impressive on day 1. By day 4, you're sore, behind, and quitting. StreakUp flips this: your daily goal can be one push-up. The point isn't the rep — it's keeping the chain alive.
After 7 days of unbroken push-ups, breaking the streak feels like losing something real. By day 30, the streak protects itself. You'll drop and do one push-up on travel days, sick days, and bad days — because the chain matters.
Nobody who started at 1 push-up a day stays at 1. Once you're on the floor, you do 5. Then 10. After a few months, you're doing sets of 50 without thinking. StreakUp's long-term stats prove the compound effect — every rep you've logged, counted forever.
Start from your knees if a full push-up isn't possible. The goal is 10 clean reps on your toes within 4 weeks. Quality beats quantity.
You can grind out 20+ in a row. Now focus on tempo: 2 seconds down, 1 second up. Add a pause at the bottom for extra chest activation.
Progress to diamond push-ups (triceps), archer push-ups (one-arm prep), or feet-elevated push-ups. The body adapts to volume — change the angle, not the rep count.
If your elbows shoot out to 90°, you're loading the shoulder joint instead of the chest. Keep elbows at roughly 45° from your torso — it protects shoulders and works the chest harder.
Your body should be one straight line from heels to head. Sagging hips strains the lower back; piking up shifts work to the shoulders. Brace your core like you're about to be punched.
Lower until your chest is one fist-width from the floor, then press all the way up. Shallow reps build ego, not strength. The bottom half is where the chest gets the most work.
Inhale on the way down, exhale on the way up. Breath-holding spikes blood pressure and makes the set feel twice as hard.
Whatever feels easy. The point is showing up.
Form before reps. Slow tempo.
Break into 2 sets if needed.
You're past the hard part. The streak runs itself.
Yes — completely free on both Android and iOS. No paywalls, no premium tier, no features locked. You get the full app on day one.
Open the app, tap the push-up exercise, enter the number of reps you just did, and confirm. The whole flow takes about 2 seconds. You can log multiple sets per day — they all roll up into your daily total.
Your push-up streak resets, but your other exercise streaks (squats, pull-ups, chin-ups) keep running independently. The all-time stats and longest-streak record also stay — you're never starting from zero.
Whatever you can do with good form. Most adults can start at 5 to 10 reps. If a full push-up isn't possible, start from your knees. The number on day 1 doesn't matter — showing up on day 30 does.
Daily push-ups build the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core — especially in beginners and intermediates. Once you can do 30+ reps, you'll need to add intensity (slower tempo, harder variations, weighted vests) to keep growing.
StreakUp gives push-ups their own dedicated tracker — separate streak, separate stats, separate calendar. A generic habit tracker like Streaks or Habitica treats 'do push-ups' as a single yes/no checkbox. StreakUp counts every rep and lets you see growth over months.
Whether you do 5 reps or 50, the goal is the same: keep showing up. Free on Android and iOS.
