We're at the end of week 1. Over the course of this week you have completed 45 push-ups, 45 knee to elbow planks and 225 mountain climbers. Give yourself a pat on the back if you have kept up (or exceeded) the pace of the program.
Just a couple of tips to share before we head into week 2:
1. Make sure your push-ups are two counts down and two counts up. Yes, this is harder but that's the point. We reduced the volume from last month in order to accommodate the 2 count tempo.
2. When doing the knee to elbow planks, spread your feet to about shoulder width. This will provide you with a more stable base on which to rotate your knee in toward your elbow.
3. The mountain climbers should be energetic. I don't want to see you sissyfying this move (and yes, I can see those of you who aren't giving it your all). Move those legs, feel the burn.
Week two will be a little more challenging. If you need to go to your knees to finish the push-ups, please do so, but try to complete the total number of reps for each exercise.
