The push-up is seriously one of THE greatest upper body/core exercises in existence. I swear by it. It's been a staple in my workouts since I can remember! What's not to love about a move that tones & strengthens your bis, tris, chest, upper back, AND core?? Um...how about NADA!
So...think you can't do a push-up? Fear not. It still counts when you do them from your knees. It just takes some of the pressure off your core...which you might need to start with! Want to tone up your upper body? Adopt pre-sleep pushups as part of your bedtime routine!
Take the PSP challenge...

Take the PSP challenge...
Do 20 push-ups every single night before you go to bed! Do them from your knees if you must. If you can't complete 20, just do your best and work up to 20! A few is better than none!Remember Proper Form...SO important!!
- Keep your tummy tight & belly button pulled in toward your spine!
- Don't let your back droop! Keep your body straight.
- Keep your shoulders over your hands and lower your CHEST toward the ground (not your nose...this causes stress on the neck/shoulders!)
- Keep shoulders down & back! {"tuck your shoulder blades into back pockets"}
- Relax your neck
- BREATHE!!
Now. Start tonight, and get your PSP on!
Happy Toning!
-Peace. Health. RoxyB!!
