Do pushups help weight loss? Well, yeah, being exercises, of course they do in some way, and Yahoo! Health tells the story:
Rowing, climbing stairs, and calisthenics like pushups, are strength training exercises. Many strength-training exercises employ dumbbells and weights to help work your muscles. As with all new exercises, begin slowly. The exercises are repeated over time until they become comfortable. When you are ready, you can intensify your workout by first adding sets of repetitions and light weights and later by graduating to heavier weights.
