Exercise Instructions
- Rejoice in the strength of the ancient warrior, as you lower yourself into a pushup–as low as possible without allowing your shoulders to surrender cowardly forward. Feel the power and might emanating from your shoulder blades as they squeeze together and downward at the bottom of the rep.
- Command your abs and lower back to stay in formation by tightening your abdominal muscles and keeping your ribs pulled down so that no trace of a cowardly arch can be found.
- Rise to the challenge, as you finish the pushup with honor and grace. Reach one hand over to the other shoulder, without any hint of a backbend or cowardice–a feat that would make Odysseus proud.
- Now stand tall, for the warrior within you has conquered another challenge! Let your chest swell with pride and honor as you bask in your victory. Onward! To greatness!
- Start in a plank position, firmly grounding both hands directly beneath your shoulders and keeping your feet close together to form a straight line from crown to heel.
- As you exhale, move downwards in a controlled manner without letting your elbows flare outwards or allowing your core to slacken.
- Descend to the point just prior to your shoulder blades protracting, keeping them firmly squeezed together and downwards at all times.
- Inhale deeply as you forcefully push off the floor until your arms are almost fully extended, reach one hand over to the opposite shoulder and hold a steadfast plank position – ribs tucked in, back arched neither too far nor too little, and hips rock-steady.
- Ease back down with care before repeating the exercise on the opposite arm.
