300 challenge!
If you were limited to choosing only one exercise to workout with, what would it be? Well, assuming you don’t want to focus on only one part of your body, you will probably want to choose an exercise that will target multiple muscle groups. So, what’s it going to be?
Although there may be some individuals who believe that push ups are an exercise that is strictly for the arms and chest, I would think that these days many realize that it is one that targets a lot more muscle groups than that. The shoulders, abdominal muscles, back, glutes, and legs are all positively affected during this motion. Essentially a full-body workout, the push up is an exercise that can be done in a small area just about anywhere and requires little to no equipment.
So, if you are stuck on what to do for your next workout, how about doing some push ups? Find them boring? Give this 300 push up challenge workout a try. There’s plenty of variety to keep your muscles guessing!
