Push-Up Trio with a Twist

Today we are going to work our arms for 5 minutes. Ready?

Find a wall. Stand about 3 feet in front of it. Place hands against wall, shoulder width apart. Extend right leg behind you, pointing toe and squeezing your bum muscles. Do as many wall-push ups as you can (stopping at one minute.)

Relax with 20 jumping jacks.

Find a sturdy chair, (countertop, side of tub, car bumper or other such object) and do as many push-ups as you can with your right leg extended up and off the ground.

20 jumping jacks.

Now do as many regular push-ups on the floor as you can with your right leg extended off the ground (you can still be on left knee for a modified push-up.)

20 Jumping Jacks.

Repeat all of the above with the left leg extended instead until you can go no more!

Note: Make sure to keep abs tight for this so that you don't arch your back.

Make it count everyone!
