Ahhhh…chest day. I think this is my least favorite body part to train mainly because I am so weak in this area and the exercises are just grueling. The only way I know to get past my stinking-thinking about chest day is to set a goal. My goal is to do 50 push ups by June…and I’m talking about the full push-up without knees. I found a great link that shows not only how to do a proper push-up, but also how to do various forms of the push-up. I invite any of my readers to study this link and then join me in my quest to 50 push-ups! If you want to participate either full on push-up or modified push-up, you can go to the Push Up Challenge Page that I will be posting and leave a comment. I’ll put the plan there and we can post in the comments section on our progress and motivate each other. I know there are about 300 of you checking me out everyday so somebody is bound to want to do this…right???
