Plank Walks & Push-Ups OH BOY!

I hope everyone has been enjoying the challenge thus far! Here's what we've got going on for the next few days.

Day 6 Plank Walks
Check out this YouTube video if you are unfamiliar with the exercise.
You will perform 3 sets of 12 reps. 1 Rep = Forearm, Forearm, Hand, Hand
Focus on keeping your hips square to the floor.

Day 7 Push-Ups
Today you will perform the same amount of push-ups you did on day 2.

Day 8 Rest

Day 9 Decline Push-Ups
To set up a decline push-up you're going to need something to put you feet on. If you're not at the gym, you can use your couch. Get in push-up position with your feet elevated. Place your hands wider than shoulder-width apart and keep your eyes focused on the floor. Be sure not to lead with your head. Keep your abs tight and back straight. Bend your arms to lower yourself towards the floor. Once you've lowered as far as you can, exhale and press yourself back up to the fully extended position. Perform 2-3 sets of 8-12 reps.

xoxo,
