When it comes to personal fitness, sometimes you need a push, a challenge, something to kick your butt and get you back on track. This is why we sign up for 5Ks, things like the Murph Challenge, and other events that we need to prepare for over the long haul. Sometimes the goal isn’t an event a few months out - sometimes it’s a habit that you build over days, weeks, or months. The Tabata Push-Up Challenge is the perfect example of the latter. This 4-minute workout requires no equipment, can be done just about anywhere, and is accessible yet challenging to any level of fitness. If you can last the whole month, you’ll love the results.

3 Keys to the Perfect Pushup

Keep Your Core Tight
As you push yourself off the food, try not to worm up off the floor. Move your entire body as one unit in a straight line from your shoulders to hip and ankles.
 
01
 
Scale Appropriately
If you can’t complete a push-up without keeping your body in a straight line (or at all), scale the movement by performing the pushup from your knees instead of your feet.
