Day 2 of the Fitness Advent Calendar



So if we're going to act like a frog in the lower body, might as well do some upper body huh? Push-ups! Frog push-ups! The great thing about push-ups is that they sculpt shoulders, triceps, chest and core! Multiple muscles all in one shot!

Beginners, do 1 set of 10 and modify by bringing the knees down if you need or only going down half way. If you've been exercising for awhile, do 3 sets of 10. Advanced exercisers, here's your challenge...do a set of frog squat hops from Day 1 then do a set of frog push-ups. Rotate the 2 exercises for 3 rounds of hoppin' happy fitness fun! If you still need more motivation, how about watching a Christmas special on TV and on every commercial break, do 1 set!

Directions:
1. Hands set up outside of the chest.
2. Start with knees under the hips then tuck your toes and lift the knees up off of the floor.
3. Staying in this lifted position, take your nose towards the floor while bending at the elbow.
4. Chin tucks so spine stays long.
5. Abs pull up to protect the back.
