And I’m not talking bras, although and ode to the Wonderbra is probably out there!  Nope, I’m talking the old-fashioned, face first on the ground, he-man power move.  All hail the mighty push up!

Push Ups are a complete upper body exercise.  You are firing your chest, back, arms, shoulders and core with a single exercise.  Whether your knees are on the ground, you are on your feet, at an incline or the more challenging decline position you are working it.

I used to dread push ups.  My arms would wobbly, I couldn’t hold my stomach in and I could barely get an inch down.  All it takes is practice and repetition and you will be able to execute numerous push ups.  In turn, you will reap the benefits.

Here’s a cool website to check out;  www.hundredpushups.com.  A few friends have recommended it and it provides a training plan so you can master 100 push ups.  You may be asking “why?”.  I say, why not?  If nothing else, it’s a great ice breaker at a party!

Now go run!
