Guess what we have the pleasure of doing today? Pushups! Probably no one's favorite but an ultimate test of strength. My classes hate them but I actually love them. Once you realize (and it may take some time and that's fine) that you can do them, I'm sure you will share my feelings.
Do them on your knees if you must, just make sure that you keep your hips in line with your upper body. Don't stick your booty way in the air, but be sure not to let them drop down too far either.
Try at least one on your toes. It may be too difficult and one will be all you can manage. Or it may be that you surprise yourself and have terrific upper body strength. Either way you do them strive to complete three sets. Rest for 45 seconds to a minute in between each set. Within each set, do six to ten pushups. Don't limit yourself to the minimun but do what your body is fully able to do.
That's it. Add this to the end of your workout, add it to the end of yesterday's workout (a nice walk), or do it alone if that's all you have the time for.
With this workout you will strengthen mainly your chest, but also your shoulders and triceps. Let no excuse stand in your way today. You need only yourself and the floor. Let's get moving!
