Day 11: Push-ups Challenge Modified: Knees Up https://www.google.com/amp/s/dailyburn.com/life/fitness/how-to-do-a-push-up-variations/amp/ “Avoiding push-ups like they’re the plague? We don’t blame you — the bodyweight exercise is daunting if you’re new to fitness. But if you’re reaching for any crazy excuse to skip this bootcamp favorite, you might be cheating yourself out of a seriously effective workout...” Not everyone can do a standard push-up...I have troubles with pull ups myself, so I get struggles. Everyone has to start somewhere...to help you work your way up to the standard push-up...Try This “Push-Up on Knees By putting some of your weight on your knees, you’ll be able to safely and effectively perform this beginner-friendly modification. How to: Begin on your hands and knees in a modified plank position. Your arms should be straight, with your shoulders above your wrists. Rest your knees on the ground (preferably with a towel or mat beneath them), legs together, with your feet suspended in the air (a). Slowly bend your elbows and lower your chest to the floor, while maintaining a straight line from the crown of your head to your knees (b). Next, press upwards, engaging your chest and core (c). Complete three sets of 8-10 reps. Coach says: You should feel challenged midway through set number two. If you’re hardly breaking a sweat, try the incline push-ups...” Struggled with a few sets and was feeling that unmotivated vibe we all feel at times. Instead of taking a pass for the day and losing good form, just modified and soldiered through until I got my mind right. Times like these accept, adapt, and adjust. 25–Done and done. I was nominated by William de León Ken, Carla, William, Raman, Rod, Brett, Sara, Jaron, Germaine, Ron, Mera, Lou—Keep up the great work I nominate: Virginia #modifiedpushups #pushupday #pushupchallenge #quarantineworkout #quarantineworkouts https://www.instagram.com/p/CAYx0f_pLh5/?igshid=1whkztihvnc39

Day 10: Push-ups Challenge Spider-Man Push-ups Struggled with these. Should have done this set first and not last. Still, done and done. I was nominated by William De León @Ken Fuller, did 110 last couple of days @ramangujral64 Did 50+, double what’s asked yesterday Great job!!! https://strongains.com/the-benefits-of-doing-spiderman-pushups/ “The advantages of doing a Spiderman pushup are that it helps your chest and arm muscles work harder. When you move your leg forward, it shifts your weight, which means that your muscles have to adjust to the new position. This helps to work different muscle groups, increasing the resistance and helping you strengthen your muscles more quickly. As with most forms of pushups, a Spiderman pushup mainly works your pectoral muscles, your deltoids, and your triceps. It is an excellent form of upper body workout. It also can engage your core muscles and helps to strengthen them. Since you are only supporting yourself on three points of contact when you move your leg forward, this means that your abdominals and other core muscles have to work harder to maintain stability. Moving your legs forward and back also helps to work your lower abs since it mimics the movement used in many abdominal exercises.” #spidermanpushups #pushupday #pushupchallenge #pushups #quarantineworkout #quarantineworkouts I nominate: @la_mera_mera_xoxo (at Right Here Right Now) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAYEvhgprI9/?igshid=18a9sldo8vvha

Training with rings will: Add an element of instability to any exercise, automatically making it harder and more effective Seriously help to push through workout plateaus Increase the difficulty level and challenge of pretty much any bodyweight exercise Make you feel like a kid again!... Yet if you think that adding rings to your workouts is going to be easy, you’re in for a big surprise. Training with rings is tough—even for the really fit. And while it’s an awesome goal to work up to crazy hard exercises on the rings, most of us aren’t quite there yet.” (at Pelona Vista Soccer Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAMaE9OJb9V/?igshid=1jg57t7go90ri
