With most gyms still being shut down due to COVID a lot of you are utilizing bodyweight workouts as a way to stay in shape. This is great! The little challenges happening are a nice way to stay motivated and accountable. But a lot of the pushups we see on social media aren’t cutting it! Quality over quantity people. ALWAYS. ⁣⁣

There are a few things that commonly go wrong in pushups. One is having a limp body and kind of just splatting on the floor as Katie does in this video. Work on keeping tension throughout the entire body. This involves pinning the feet and legs together, squeezing the glutes, maintaining a neutral pelvis or a posterior tuck, spreading the fingers and really gripping the ground with them, creating some torsion by gripping with the hands as if you are opening a jar, keeping the blades rotated, and fixing your eyes on a spot on the floor, just slightly ahead of your hands. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
As you lower down use your toes to press yourself forward and keep the elbows closer to the body as Katie shows in the second version. Now, there are different versions of pushups for different reasons. If you are choosing to do them a specific way with a specific goal in mind, great. If you are mindlessly doing them without much attention knock that shit off. Applying all of these tips will likely decrease the number of reps you are able to do. Drop your ego and have pride in the fact that you are doing a more difficult version that will produce better results in the long run! ⁣⁣

❗️For those of you who are concerned about Dexter (the adorable pooch) being pushed aside, this is the typical rough-house play that they have together- they are buds.
