Have you seen that infomercial for the P90X system?<\/p>\n
It’s a full body workout designed to get you ripped in 90 days, using the concept of “muscle confusion”. Interesting idea.<\/p>\n
While I was learning about this product I caught a glimpse of an simple yet challenging push-up exercise that’ll work your abs, arms and balance at the same time.<\/p>\n
This is a great exercise to challenge your students.<\/p>\n
It works like this…<\/p>\n
Do a regular push up, but when you return to the up position bring one knee to your chest for a moment (so that your foot is no longer touching the ground) and then return that leg to the floor.<\/p>\n
Do another push up and this time bring the opposite knee to your chest before returning it to the floor.<\/p>\n
Continue to alternate right leg, then left leg with each push up.<\/p>\n
Sounds easy, but quite challenging.<\/p>\n
After 20-30 of these you’ll really start to feel it in your abs.<\/p>\n
Try it out for yourself and then challenge your students with it in your next class.<\/p>\n
Enjoy,<\/p>\n
