PUSH-UPS

PUSH-UPS
I had the lucky chance to take my Mom's private personal training class with Christina Norris.  I did 10 different types of push-ups I didn't even know this many existed.

1.  Regular Boys Push-Ups
Easy.  Stick your butt in, tighten your abs, toes are on the ground knees are together not touching the floor. Exhale on the way down.  Inhale on the way up.  Everyone knows how this is done.
2.  Diamond Push-Ups
Same position except, your hands make a diamond shape and they are centered under your chest.  This kills your tris and chest.
3.  Bridge Push-Ups
These are the "you've got to be kidding me" push ups.  Place your hands outstretched infront of you.  Pretend you are superman.  You lift one leg.  This leg is lifted so that your big toe is about an inch above your other heel.  You swing your body forward pretending you are flying under a bridge.  Your chest is stretched outward and then you pretend to go backwards under the bridge.  You change to the other leg for reps on the other side of course.

4.  Lopsided Push-Ups
One arm is completely stretched forward while the other arm is positioned right at your side.  Pushup and switch sides.
5.  Wide Armed Push-Ups
These ones are pretty standard.  Make a T shape with your arms, bend your elbows in and do your pushups this width apart.
6.  Tri Push- Ups
Put your hands at your sides and then bend your elbows and do your push ups there.
7.  Side to Side Push-Ups
Make your T shape again but this time only bend one arm. Shift your weight over to the opposite side and bend the opposite elbow and straighten the other.
8. Finger Tip Push-Ups
Try and do a regular pushup only on your finger tips.  Yeah right.  I can only do this on the sand.
9. Knuckles Push-Ups
Cake walk.  Do pushups on your fists.
10.  Clap Push-Ups
Pushup, jump with your hands, clap and catch yourself before you smack your head on the floor.

THE END.

NOTE: I can only do them in sixes at the end of my work out... and no knuckles push-ups.  Those hurt my fingers.
