Push up

Maybe you hate them or you think you can’t complete a single rep or you think being a runner (or a cyclist or a walker) means you only need to focus on your lower body. But it’s time to stop considering the pushup an arm workout and start accepting it for the body-altering, core-strengthening move it truly is. You don’t have to drop and give me 50; simply incorporating more pushups into your regular routine can help you reach all sorts of fitness goals, by helping you improve everything from your posture on your bike to your balance to simple tasks in the home.  Please look at this AWESOME link, great variations on the push up and its all done with simple videos to demonstrate.  OR come in and visit your Melbourne Osteopath at City Osteopathy for some expert demonstration and advice!
