Onward Rudolph!: Push-up

December 4



No one wants their arms to jingle,
So do some push-ups until you tingle.

Push-up

Start
1. Begin in push-up position with feet together and toes on floor; hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
2. Draw-in belly button and squeeze butt muscles.
Movement
3. With flat back, slowly lower body toward floor, lowering and squeezing shoulder blades.
4. Push up to starting position - do not jut head forward.

5. Repeat five times. It’s ok to sing, “Carol got run over by a reindeer…!”

If it is too difficult to do this exercise, put your knees on the floor, keep your body straight and go from there. But, every day you should try to do a push-up. A key strategy – start in the upward position (i.e. with your arms straight and lower yourself instead of trying to push up as the first move).
Onward Rudolph!
Carol
