The Proper Pushup

That’s why I was so thrilled to see Missi Holt, Certified TT Trainer, put together this incredible infographic of the perfect pushup.

While Missi was sharing that with the world, I was over in Lithuania at the BlackSmith Liberty and Entrepreneurship Camp.

On Thursday I taught the students the 5 Pillars of Success featured in my book, The Perfect Day Formula.

And at the end of the day we gathered for a bodyweight bootcamp workout.

BlackSmith Camp Bodyweight Bootcamp #1

– Do each exercise for 30 seconds.

– Do not rest between exercises.

– Rest one minute at the end of the circuit.

– Repeat the circuit one more time.

1A) Prisoner Squat
1B) Pause Pushup (pause at the bottom and top for 1-second each)
1C) Total Body Extension
1D) Mountain Climber
1E) Reverse Lunges
1F) Iron Cross
1G) Sphinx Pushup
1H) Prisoner Split Squat
1J) Rocking Plank
1K) Punisher Squat – 20 seconds of squats, 10 second hold in bottom position

This didn’t seem like much to me…

…but it challenged most of the bootcampers – even though they were 15 years younger than me.

They were pretty sore the next day, too. 🙂

But we were just getting warmed up for Sunday’s “Punisher Maximus” workout.

I’ll tell you all about it in next Monday’s email. Stay tuned!

PS – All the planning in the world is no good if you don’t follow through.

Be an action-taker. Eliminate your excuses about lack of time, distractions, ’emergencies’, and take action on what really matters in your life.

Write that book. Save that marriage. Raise healthy kids. Lose that weight. Reconnect with that special friend.

The time is now.

Don’t waste it.
