Ok….
Many of us complain about never having time to workout, so here are a few quick tips to implement into your daily life!
This is an easy trick and a quick path to toning your arms using just a countertop!
First, make a rule for yourself.
My rule is,”Every time I use the bathroom, I will do ten pushups on my sink.”
I drink a lot of coffee, so can you imagine how many pushups I get in???
If I told you to do 200 pushups at the sink, you would laugh in my face, but if I said do 10 every time you bring a snack tray to the sink, imagine how many you would do in a day!
So, remember, first make the rule.
“Every time I… I will do 10 presses for my arms!”
And here’s how to do countertop pushups:
- Stand with hands placed on the counter top shoulder width apart.
- Bend arms and lower chest to within a few inches of the counter top. Remember to keep your back flat like a table.
- Press yourself back up to the starting position.
- Do not lock elbows. Remember to squeeze in your abs and breathe throughout this exercise.
- Repeat this action for at least 2 sets of 12 reps.
- It’s not too tough and the results are FAB!
Try that for 2 weeks.
Let me know how this works for ya!
