Intensify Your Push-Up

If you’ve ever worked out with a trainer, you know they always tell you to work your core.  That’s the area around your abdominals and lower-back that essentially connects your lower-body muscles to your upper-body muscles.  It’s important to keep that area fit and strong as it ehances your overall body strength.   Check out this tip on strengthening your core that I found online in the 15 Best Workout Tips of all time…

“Squat-thrust push-ups get you in great shape because they work your upper body, core and lower body and improve agility, strength and endurance all at once. From a standing position, bend down, put your hands on the floor shoulder-width apart, and jump your feet back into plank position. If you’re strong, cross your ankles; otherwise, jump your feet wide apart. Do a push-up, then jump your feet together or uncross your ankles. Jump your feet back to your hands and stand up. Do eight reps total, rest for one minute, and repeat.”

–Keli Roberts, Los Angeles — based trainer

What do you think?  I’ll usually try any new excercise at least once.  Luckily Uptown Buckhead has a fitness center to get a quick workout in too.
