Day 24.

Good morning. Well, we have had a few days of stretch and dressing up and talking so today is back to some exercise. Push ups. A variety for you to choose from depending on your level and what might be most appropriate.

1. Standing close to the wall with wide arms. Lower your chest between your hands, keeping the same distance between your collarbones and hips.

2. Standing further away from the wall so you have a bigger distance to travel and more weight to support - arms more narrow will increase intensity and keeping your elbows close to your ribs will add another challenge. Watch you keep your chest open and do not allow your shoulders to roll forwards.

3. In all 4's with your hips infront of your knees. Lower. your chest down, reaching your nose forwards toward the end of the mat. Again, bringing your arms closer towards you and / or keeping your elbows close to your ribs will give more challenge. Watch you keep your hips drawn slightly up towards your ribs to avoid  arching your back. Keep those abs engaged. Watch you maintain space between your collar bones.

4. From a plank position, bend elbows lowering your chest down towards the floor. Again, watch you maintain space between your collarbones and to avoid your shoulder blades "winging", imagine someone resting the palm of their hand between your shoulder blades and gently push your back up towards that hand.

5. Same as before but again, have your hands closer to your body and draw your elbows up past your ribs. Keep the rib hip connection, feel your abs supporting you and try to avoid the shake that I got!!!!

Aim for 3 to start with and see if, over the course of a week you can build up to 6 or 8.

See you tomorrow x
