January 29, 2014-Push ups!

Semester one has ended but we have gym all year long, so we have to continue the physical exercise and use the rest of the year to continue and improve our efforts. On January 29, 2014 I did some push ups because this is an exercise I want to improve on. I want to improve my structure of the push ups and I think I improved my formation a little bit from last time when we did the beep test. I tried to keep a good structure, but as we get to June I have confidence in myself that my structure will be very good, with practice. I did 3 sets of 5, so in total I did 15 push ups and I think that is a good amount of push ups that I should be doing based on my fitness levels. I took approximately 5 second breaks in between the sets. This really got my heart beating faster. Push ups mainly work out your arm muscles (triceps) and your pectoral muscles. My arms were tired by the end but I was proud that I tried doing them without my knees. Next time I will go on my knees and see if there is a change in the structure or the quantity of push ups that I am able to do.
