Healthy Tip of the Day: Push-ups

Apr 21st, 2010

Stop, drop and do 20!!! Push-ups, that is. The push-up is one of those amazing exercises that can be done anywhere. It works your chest, biceps, triceps, shoulders, lower-back, upper-back…you get the point. I try to fit in around 80 push-ups throughout the day. I start with a couple sets of 20 before the kids get up. This is because they find it absolutely hysterical when I exercise and usually tackle me until I am completely flattened into the berber. I resume my sets during my daily dose of dvred Regis & Kelly. Looking at Kelly Ripa always motivates me. Oh, and by the way, I do ‘girlie’ push-ups and it still delivers the desired result.
