Nice, easy, slow, and controlled is key.  Release your chest to the ground slowly, pause at the bottom, engage your muscles and press away from the ground.

Don’t bounce down and don’t collapse.

Warm up 3-5 minutes (walk in place, do jumping jacks, jog up and down the hall)

Perform the following workout 1 time through: (with a 15 second rest in between):

• 14 push ups
• 12 push ups
• 14 push ups
• 12  push ups

Modified or Military – your choice.

Feeling spicy?  Try Push Ups with a Reach.

• At the top of the push up, extend your right arm straight out in front of you – stay at shoulder height (lift your arm, do not throw)
• Repeat – extending your left arm this time.  Alternate arms with each push up

Have a great day!

Now go run!

Keli 🙂
