Tip of the Day: Push up challenge. Whether you’re still working on push ups from your knees or are challenging yourself with traditional push ups off the feet, these added challenge will be sure to give you great results and add to any upper body workout. Begin in your normal push up position, bend at the elbows keeping the arms close to the body, then pause for 1-2 counts at the bottom of this movement before returning. This keeps the movement from being based on momentum and really forces your pec muscles to become engaged. I especially love this on incline push ups! Try it out and I bet you’ll notice a difference!
