There are some exercises we really should be doing
#1. THE PUSH UP
A fundamental exercise that everyone should practice.
You don't need expensive equipment just a floor with space to lay down..
The push up works the chest, shoulder and arm muscles, helping create a strong shoulder girdle while also strengthening and stabilizing you from your head down to your toes.
Acting in the same way as the plank the push up really works the core.
Set up
- Start flat on the ground with toes tuck in
- Straight neck, looking at the floor
- Hands just wider then the shoulders
- Hands inline with the chest, not the shoulders
- Tight mid section
- Drive through the hands and squeeze the chest till arms are straight
If you're not strong enough yet to come up on your toes come up to your knees but don't hinge in the hips.
After a warm up today your challenge is to do
5 sets of 10 pushups
(check your form is right and you will benefit from the pushup I promise)
Have fun & Keep moving!!!!
