For example, when we do push ups chest, triceps and shoulders work. How our body says if I move these muscles I perform this action easily? Push ups can be done maybe using only chest or triceps muscle but our body decides to involve other muscles as well.

Practice.
You’ve got a pile of mush in your skull that’s the greatest pattern recognition machine in the known universe, and it’s got little tendrils that connect to all of your muscles that allows it to control them.
You ever seen a baby move around? They’re super uncoordinated and just kinda flail around because their brain has no idea how to control their bodies. Even young kids that can walk are still pretty clumsy and wobbly.
It’s only after years of trial and error that their brain can control their bodies with some level of agility.
The level of control you currently have over your limbs was something that took you years of literally constant practice to build up.
Your brain is also an extremely powerful computer, things are running in the background that you don’t even notice.
Your brain is really quite intelligent, and for the first few years of your life, it was figuring out how each muscle effects the movement. It takes a year for your body to walk. All this time a baby is moving it’s body and observing what happens. In the same way your brain can learn to play a videogame with a controller, when you’re born, your brain has its own controller and the “reality” videogame to figure out.
