Push-up Variations

Filed Under Exercise · Tagged:

I’ve always enjoyed the many different varieties of push-ups. They can range from easy to very challenging. The one-handed push-up is one that still evades me!

They are a great upper body exercise, developing strength in your chest, shoulders and triceps and work your core like you wouldn’t believe.

This is one great exercise you can do just about anywhere, making it a boot camp staple.

Here are some of my favorites, but I would love to know which ones you like. Don’t forget, if you are enjoying the on-line training I am giving you here, you will really love this: ON LINE TRAINING PROGRAM

I have been thinking about losing weight since my last child was born three years ago. I thought it would happen miraculously when I stopped nursing, but of course it didn’t. Instead, my weight seemed to be going up. Under Lauren’s coaching, I achieved my goal to lose weight. I lost 15 pounds in 12 weeks and I began exercising regularly and focusing not just the calories that I consumed, but on the full nutritional profile of my diet … was I getting enough protein? Was the mix of fat, carbohydrates and protein balanced? Was I getting all the vitamins I needed? Perhaps most remarkably, with her guidance I was able to continue to lose weight even after sustaining a serious knee injury skiing. Though I could no longer exercise at all, I achieved more than half my weight loss after the accident! It was particularly notable because I was quite upset about the injury and could easily have lost momentum but did not. One more thing, she was not my trainer, she was my coach and I achieved my goal with a weekly phone conversation from my home in Toronto, Canada to her phone in Dallas.
