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.
