Just what you've been hoping for



On the fifth day of Christmas my trainer said to me

five puuuush-ups

four sets (4/5) of bicycle crunches

three sets (3/10) of vertical leg crunches

two sets (2/12) of floor bridges

and a plank held for thirty seconds please!

Get it?  Five puuuush-ups. That's so if you are musically inclined --
and we all know some of you  are certainly singing -- you
can continue to sing your exercise song!

Push-up  (The key here is to keep your body in line.  Try to do
"standard" push-ups -- no knees on the ground.  I know you can do this!)
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 (aka suck in your gut) 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.

Remember, Santa's watching you!
