Fitness Challenge Day 5

The Exercise:  Sun Salutations with Push Ups

Some yoga sun salutations will get you loosened up and get your heart rate up and help you focus on your breathing.  Adding some push ups in will give you an extra upper body workout challenge.  If you have never done sun salutations, follow along with this video, adding your push-ups in when you come to plank position.

How to Do it:





The Challenge:

Do 10 Sun Salutations, adding 3-5 push-ups in when you come to the plank position.  Move on in your sun salutation when you complete your push-ups.  There is no resting phase between sun salutations, move from the end of one right into the next.

This is really quite a workout with the push-ups added in, if you need to take a break after a few, then do so, but try to do 10 total with 3-5 push ups or modified push-ups (on your knees) during each salutation.  If you can complete 10 salutations, you will also have done 30-50 push ups today!
