How can I effectively perform short pushups to target specific muscle groups?

To effectively perform short pushups to target specific muscle groups, focus on keeping your elbows close to your body and your hands shoulder-width apart. This will engage your triceps and chest muscles more. Additionally, make sure to maintain a straight body alignment and lower yourself until your elbows are at a 90-degree angle before pushing back up. This will help target the muscles in your arms, chest, and shoulders effectively.
