In case you are wondering why I put a video of Mr. Hough’s class doing jumping jacks it’s a running joke as I am not a big fan of jumping jacks. I am a big fan of skipping. Jumping Jacks can give you a full body workout but the way you look while jumping cancels all of that out lol.

In this video you will see a series of push-up progressions: traditional right angle push-up, right angle push using one leg, push-up feet on swiss ball, push-up hands on swiss ball, push-up hands on bongo balance board. If you are a beginner you can start in a modified push-up position where you start on your knees and hands on ground. You can also take it to a higher level with feet on swiss ball and hands on bongo board.

Some of the muscles used in a push-up are: pectoralis major, anterior deltoideus, and triceps. If you elevate your feet you focus on your upper pectorals and elevate your torso to focus on lower pectorals. You can also vary how wide your hands are. Start with your hands about shoulder width apart.

Make sure to pay close attention to my technique as I go up and down. Notice how I am calm and in control. I am not swaying all over the place and kicking my legs. You can experiment with a wider grip and a closer grip along with your overhand grip and underhand grip.

The “overhand” grip pull-up will strengthen the following muscles: biceps, brachialis, brachioradialis, pectoralis major along with the trapezius, rhomboideus, teres major, and latissimus dorsi.

The “underhand “ grip pull-up will strengthen the following muscles: trapezius, lats, teres major, biceps, brachialis, rhomboids, and pectorals.
