Hey this is Mitch from fitfiguretv.com and fitfigurebootcamp.com here to prevent boredom in the gym.

So I’m just going to give you some push-up variations today okay. It’s such a classic exercise that women can do, I think people think that it’s a guy exercise, I don’t know why but it tightens the arms the back it works every muscle in the upper body including the core.

I’m just going to show you a couple of push-up variations that you can do in the gym, in the house, in the hotel outside wherever you are. Just eliminate some boredom it doesn’t always have to be the same push-up.

The first push-up is going to be a modified push-up with your knees on the ground.

Second push-up would be a rear heel push-up where you’re completely off the ground. Those are two basic ones and now we will get a little funky.

You have one push-up where your legs is wrapped around one leg, that’s another push-up.

You also have a push-up where you can elevate the foot and do a push-up.

You also have the V push-up, where you move your feet in and have your head hit the ground and come up, that’s another push-up.

You could also go wide and have your hands in a like your knuckles on the floor, go really wide, put your thumbs down and do another kind of push-up.

You could bring it in to the back of the arm to the triceps; you could put your hands nice and close together.

You can do another kind of push-up, you can do a clap push-up okay.

You can do a serious P90 X kind of push-up where you your entire body elevates off the ground, let me show you, including your feet.

Okay you can do the hand replacement push-up, push-up replace the hand push-up and you can go around the world push-up and then you can actually go back okay.

So I’m going to stop there, one because I’m tired and I think you get my point there’s so many variations that you can do with the basic exercise.

Same thing you can do with squats and lunges, it’s just a matter of keeping it fresh and keep it exciting and not getting lost in how many reps you do or just getting stuck in a rut of doing the same thing over and over again.

So I hope that helped, I must have shown you  six, seven or eight of them. You can choose whichever one you like and just constantly switch it up.

Fitness is supposed to be fun, lifestyle is supposed to be exciting and you know all in all you just trying to lose weight, get in shape, feel good and be motivated whether you go to a gym or boot camp workout on your own.

So I hope this was helpful, if you like it, share with your friends on Facebook.

Let me know your thoughts below I’d love to hear it.
