If you have ever been to one of my classes or trained with me you know that I love push-ups! And not just regular old push-ups, although those are my favorite, I love all sorts of variations of push-ups. Why do I love push-ups? Because they are an exercise that most of the population is at least some what familiar with AND because they are awesome for your body.
Now, before you completely dismiss me and say "I can't do push-ups," let's talk about variations and modifications.
The standard push-up that we are all familiar with is completed from our toes. Core is activated, keeping hip-joint in line and spine straight without any sagging. Our shoulders are retracted and neck is neutral.
We can modify a push-up without losing the important aspects of muscle engagement and movement. You can start on your knees and shorten the movement. You can move onto a bench or even up against the wall. These are modifications that will allow you to complete your push-ups while still gaining strength.
We have talked about why I love push-ups and about how to do them, now let's talk push-up challenge.
For 30 days we are going to build up or push-ups. We are going to start with 10 and add two push ups per day. Each day work on the hardest version possible before moving to an incline or dropping to your knees.
If push-ups are easy for you mix it up a bit; burpee push-ups, tricep push-ups, single arm, etc. Mix it up, have fun with it, and above all challenge yourself.
