March 'MarchUp' Push Up Exercise Challenge
The Monthly Exercise Challenge for March is #MarchUP, nothing to do with marching but much to do about Push Ups. This challenge is back to basics with Push Ups, We’re going to be challenging ourselves with this fundamental bodyweight exercise and you should join us.
Don’t let the word ‘Push Up’ put you off, we have 3 levels and 3 push-up variations including a wall press suitable for the absolute beginner or a full push-up for the seasoned push-up king.
The press-up or push-up exercise is a staple of fitness ability, being used in testing within police and military forces throughout the world, and for good reason too. It’s an excellent way to test an individual’s overall strength because it relies on many components of fitness, including muscular strength from shoulders, arms, and chest with core stability, and joint range of motion, especially at the elbow and shoulder. It’s also a metabolic exercise as it activates multiple muscle groups and will require good cardiovascular efficiency and capacity.
