Pump Up Your Push-Ups

1. Push Ups Around the World

  • Begin in push-up position, keeping a flat back, strong shoulders and engaged core.
  • Your goal is to move in a clockwise direction, practicing a push up at every “hour” on your imaginary floor-clock.
  • When you have gone around the clock once (12 reps), hold at your start position for a few seconds before repeating the exercise in counter-clockwise direction (24 reps total).

2. Trim Your Triceps with 100 Demanding Dips:

  • Find a chair, step or platform where you can place your hands, fingers facing forward.
  • Bend your knees, keeping your abs engaged and feet planted.
  • Push up and down on your platform, 25 times, shooting your elbows to the back of the room.
  • Immediately extend one leg or bend it across your opposite knee for 25 more – switch legs.
  • Finish with 25 more at your start position.

 
Remember, this is a Challenge – it’s not supposed to be comfortable or easy – just do your best and don’t give up!
