The next exercise we are going to do straight punches, switch stance, straight punches. So each time you are on the one stand, you are going to do straight punches for a count of ten, switch stance, straight punches for a count of ten.
Now we are going to do the whole push up. In this exercise, Max is doing the more advanced version, and I am doing the simpler version. This exercise works the entire body, and you want to remember to keep your back straight and your core tight.
As we do this exercise, you are going to want to try and do all your punches off the front leg. As you notice both Max and myself have our back heels off the ground, you want to twist from the trunk the whole entire body, twisting, twisting each time you throw a punch to work your bleak, and don't forget, we don't want to have a break, you want to keep the movement going, you find your own pace, you don't have to keep up the us.
In this exercise it doesn't look like you are doing very much, but you are going to feel a whole lot. You want to remember to keep your back straight, and an important way of keeping your back straight is imagining as if you are pushing your belly buttons through your lower back, you want to keep your arm straight, and just stay focused looking your head, don't forget to breath. I know when you are exercising it's difficult, people tend to hold their breath and that makes the exercise more difficult to get through. The burn you feel is going to burn calories, and these are numbers you want to get higher. The more calories you burn, the better it is, just keep going through the workout, you are doing great.
Here we are doing straight punches and hold push-ups. We are going to do these two exercises in combination together, and while we are doing the straight punches, you want to remember to alternate your stance through that ten punches, alternate ten punches, then alternate, and you want to extend your arms all the way out straight and twist as you work your bleaks. This is a great exercise for getting your cardio started and warming up the upper body.
Here we are going to hold the push up position. In this exercise it's important to remember to keep your back straight, and want to try and imagine as if you are pushing your belly button through your backbone, keep your arms locked, and just stare straight ahead in front of you. This exercise is going to work the whole entire body, with a lot of focus on the core, it's going to hurt, it's going to burn, but just push through it, your time is almost up.
In this exercise you have to remember you want to keep your blood flowing, you want to keep your cardio low, you want to keep your arm movement, you want to maintain good coordination for getting all your energy coming up from your root, coming up from that front leg, and bang everything out. You really want to feel your blood flowing down. Any kind of burn you feel is good. You are doing great, just keep going, keep working.
Don't forget, breathe, this is a very important exercise to breathe through, you should always breath through all your exercises, but this is one exercise I find that people tend to hold their breath a lot in. This is a wonderful exercise for stabilizing everything, all of your muscle's strengthening everything. The more burn you feel, the better it is, the more your body is working, even though you are staying still, this is where your body is working real hard, and it's important to stay focused and breathe. That burn is good, you are burning away calories, you are burning away fat, you are getting fit.
