We’ve got six weeks left until 2011. Ben and I are finishing the year off right with this:
Some benefits of push ups:
- Some say it’s the single most effective way to increase total body fitness
- Abdominal muscles and biceps are affected by the push up position
- Lower back and abdominal muscles contract
- Quadriceps are challenged
- Chest, triceps and the anterior deltoids are utilized and strengthened while performing a push up
- Boosts muscle growth (and we all know that muscle burns more calories than fat)
- Tones and lengthens muscles
- Results in better posture
Won’t you join us (and keep us accountable)? Leave me a comment or send me an e-mail! Let’s do this!
I AM IN!!! 10 PUSHUPS TILL THE END OF THE YEAR OR PER WEEK?
You have to click the link, Alex… http://hundredpushups.com/ it’s a full-on six week program (I’d say you should get Cody to do it too, but I bet he can do like, 7x as many push-ups as we can, hahaha)! Woohoo!
I’m fully down for this!! Count me in
yayayay Sanoe! Have you checked out the link yet? 6 weeks! The first week doesn’t look so bad though… and after Couch to 5K, I have confidence in these programs. If we can do that, we can do anything! =)
Reading all the benefits of push ups in your post made me want to drop to the floor of my office and do some!
