Hi
This is my entry for week Five sixweekhealth contest. This is about keeping fit. There are loads of exercises that can keep you fit but I choose to engage in an indoor exercise because the weather was not friendly in the morning, I therefore engaged in Press up. Below are the video and the photos showing yhe activities. It is quite simple and not that complicated but energy demanding.
The photos are below
There are different ways you can keep your hand while doing it
You can use your palm surface as your support while lifting yourself up OR
You can turn your hand to a fist to support you which I did.
If you are using your fist, you need a soft pad to cushion your hand from trauma or you can improvise as I did by using a soft slippers as my cushioning pad. You follow the process as exemplified in the video and move at a particular rhythm. If you are doing it for the first time, don't expect yourself to do it for a long time. I can do it up to 70 up and down but on a very good day, I can reach 100, so start it first and you will improve.
BENEFITS
