January Fitness Challenge - *°* Day 9 *°*

Here, we go - Day 9 of the January fitness planking challenge - it's a bit more challenging today - the pose will be shared on the telegram group / via fab messenger.

Adapt if you need to or chose a pose from a prior week.

Remember this is a personal challenge - focus on YOUR achievements, whatever they are, and CELEBRATE them.

******

Day 9:Basic Triceps Push-Up

* Starting in a high plank, rotate the crease of your elbows forward; shift your shoulders over your wrists slightly.

* With your elbows hugging your rib cage, slowly lower your body until your shoulders are even with your elbows.

* Hold for two seconds, then return to your start position.

* Do eight to 10 reps (10 to 12 if on knees); do three sets.

* Note: Push-ups are a moving plank, so as your core strength improves from these plank workouts, so will your push-ups. It's important to draw your navel toward your spine and engage your glutes, just as you do while performing planks.

******

The standard activity is as described - but it is up to you how many seconds and reps you do.. Dial it down or punch it up depending on your ability... or chose a pose from a prior week.

May the force be with you

Don't forget to post your progress on the thread

Managed to do them. 3 sets of 10 and didn't think they were too bad

I did mine, but I found this tough due to a problem I’ve been having with my left shoulder for a while which is making push ups tricky, but no pain, no gain

Back on track and caught up from yesterday.

On another note I wore I pair of trousers today I hadn’t worn since before Christmas and couldn’t believe how much room I had in them
