Three Exercises Health and Fitness in our body. 1. The Push-up Step 1 : Begin in an all-fours position. Position the shoulders directly over the wrists. Extend the toes as they make contact with the floor. Without lifting the hips, bring the knees off of the floor so the legs are straight. Step 2 : Holding this position: Toes : Engage the floor with the toes, engaging the calf muscles. Legs/hips : Simultaneously tighten the glute and quadriceps muscles (think about pulling the quadriceps muscles up into the hips.) Torso: Engage the pelvic floor by squeezing the Kegel muscles as if preventing going to the bathroom. Make the abdominals as tight as possible.
Shoulders: Pull the shoulders down and away from the ears by “tightening” the armpits. Hands : Dig the hands into the floor as if you are clinging to a cliff wall. Hold this position of tension for 10 seconds, and then return to the all-fours position. Step 3: Return to the tension position. Engaging the floor with the hands, “pull” yourself toward the floor, chest leading before the hips. Maintain the tension from step 2 all throughout the body. As you pull yourself toward the floor, take a controlled, deep breath into the belly. Descend toward the floor for a count of three to five seconds, maintaining the tension from step 2 throughout the entire body.
Step 4: Once the chest is a few inches from the floor: If you are currently unable to return to a full push-up position, allow the chest to contact the floor, engage the knees into the floor, exhale your breath under pressure (with a hissing sound) and return to the all-fours position; repeat. If you are able to do a full push-up, grip the floor with the hands as hard as possible. Begin to exhale the breath, maintaining tension and pressure in the midsection. Without moving the hands, think as if you are turning doorknobs with them. The elbows will move toward the body. Squeeze the armpits as hard as you can, maintaining the same tension from step 2 throughout the entire body. Once you have returned to the top of the movement, take in another deep belly breath and repeat.
