Women's Health SA Push-Up Challenge

Hello everybody!
I have recently seen in the August issue of Women's Health SA magazine that you can do a 30-Day push-up challenge, in which you only do 10 push-ups a day.

Before you perform the push-up challenge, take note of your wrists before you get into position of a push-up as you do not want to hurt your wrists in the process of performing a push-up.
Take a few minutes rotating your wrists clockwise, and then reverse it to warm your wrists up, and to avoid injury.

Below is a breakdown on how to perform a push-up:
1. Start in a standard plank position.
2. Try to set your hands directly inline with your shoulders. Try to get your elbows as close to your body as possible (For Yogis, think low plank pose with your shoulders). Do not let your arms flare out, keep them as close to the shoulders as possible.
3. Pull your navel in toward your spine (pull your tummy muscles in; engage your core muscles) and squeeze your glutes in. Squeezing these muscles in are key for stability and to keep your glutes from sticking up in the air, and your tummy from sagging to the floor.
4. If you are a beginner, you can keep your legs apart, but if you think you can perform the push-up with your legs together, do that instead as this will be more effective.
5. Your head should be raised slightly ahead of your hands, as your chin should be the first part of your head to touch the floor and not your nose.
6. Lastly, once you are in the correct form to do the push-up, then you can now do the 10 push-ups.

After you have done your 10 push-ups, do not forget to stretch your arms, especially your wrists. You can also stretch your entire body afterward, if you feel your muscles are sore as well.

Here is the video I made of me performing the 10 push-ups in the most correct form I can do:



Do you think you can do 10 push-ups once a day, for 30 days straight? Take the challenge and find out!
Don't forget to pick up the latest issue of Women's Health SA magazine, featuring Fitness Icon Emily Skye, who was 6 weeks pregnant when shooting this cover shoot.



Pictured above is a selfie I took of the new Women's Health SA magazine.
Women's Health SA magazine has also said that you can upload a video of you performing your push-ups on Instagram, using the hashtag #WHPushUpChallenge along with tagging @womenshealthsa on your post, and you might just have a chance of being featured on their social media page.
