12 Days Of Fitness – Exercise #5 – PUSH-UPS

If you are still singing the song then you are at the, “5 golden rings” part of this exercise. Be sure to do 5 push-ups every time.

Push-ups are a classic upper body strength exercise that you can do off of a counter top, chair, or the ground depending on your fitness level. Hands should be shoulder-width apart and don’t let the elbows flare out during the lowering phase. Other common pitfalls include placing your hands even with your collarbones rather than your chest, raising your hips too high, and letting your head fall forward. There should be a straight line from your heels to the crown of your head.

Notice the 3 levels of difficulty in the pictures below. Incline (hands higher than feet) are easier to do than the standard flat/level on the ground, and decline (hands lower than feet) are more difficult.
