Happy Move It MoTuesday!

Okay so Motuesday may not be the latest, greatest day of the week but unfortunately it's what you get when I'm a day behind on Move It Monday:)

I'm giving you a more advanced move this week and I'll probably alternate between more beginners moves and advanced ones. So for this week I introduce you to (insert drum roll!) The knee tuck push-up!



Start in a high plank position with a flat back and abs pulled in. Feet are shoulder width apart.

Lower into a push-up, maintaining a straight line from toes to head.


Push back up into your push-up

Bring your right knee in towards your left shoulder, keeping your upper body parallel to the ground.

Repeat with the left leg to the right shoulder. Again, note that I'm not twisting my upper body.

To do a beginner version of this move, start from your knees,


Come down into your push-up.

Push back up  
From here, come up into the plank position

Do your knee tuck right knee to left shoulder

Repeat on the other side


So what should you do with this? How about you get into your gym clothes and complete 5 rounds of 15 push-ups with knee tucks alternating with 40 jumping jacks. This should take anywhere from 10-15 minutes and give you a serious calorie burn!

Thanks for checking in and see you Next Monday!
