Correct Push Up Technique
This is something I struggle with. According the Zach Dechant in this article, the correct push up technique is with the hands shoulder width apart and then the elbow come down at a 45 degree angle. Most people (including myself I think) make the mistake of placing the hands too wide and with the elbows flared out. If you watch the video you’ll also see how deep you need to go in the push up, pretty much touching the ground with your chest. That is so hard to do. I try but crap it’s hard.

Today I did the Intense Challenge Workout which I last did in February. I was hoping to beat Zuzana’s time of just under 21 minutes but I completed it in just under 25 minutes. I’m such a long way off her level of fitness 
However, I did beat my old time by 2 and a half minutes so that’s something. It was the burpees which did me in so I need to work on that.

Today I did the Burn Baby Burn Workout for the 3rd time. I really like this workout. There are only 4 exercises but a high number of reps for each exercise making it quite difficult.
I tried to keep good form as much as possible but it was difficult with the abs exercise. I can’t quite extend my legs enough. I say this after just about every workout but I know I can do this workout faster.
I beat my previous personal best by more than 2 minutes so I’m very happy with that but I still feel like I am very unfit. I suppose working out more than 3 times per week would help with that.
Progress Report
Today I went back and did the Rock’n No Rolls Workout. I really enjoyed it last time so pushed really hard to try and beat my scores.
This workout is harder than I remembered. I was so out of breath I had to stop a couple of times and take a quick break. I hated having to do that because it kind of throws the results off but anyway, I wasn’t able to continue without taking a break.
I also wasn’t able to complete the last exercise which was super girl push ups. I was feeling quite unwell so skipped the exercise and took a nap instead! I think it was my fault for not waiting long enough after eating breakfast. I did a bunch of super girl push ups yesterday anyway.
Overall though, I did improve on my results from last time. As always, I know I can do better and will do this workout again.
