Fitness professional, psychotherapist and previous TELEVISION Gladiator ‘Jet’, Diane Youdale included, “I love them! In all my years of dance, physical training and Gladiators, press-ups were ever before present. Their charm is you can do much. Simply by altering your hand placements – vast, narrow, touching, staggered, leaping them off the flooring, clapping between presses you radically transform the exercise as well as the method which it strikes your body”.

I understand people consider press-ups as a top body exercise yet exactly what your lower body does has a substantial effect on the exercises you can do. Feet vast apart, legs together, one leg increased, one foot hung over the rear of the various other heel, feet boosted on a bench or suchlike – every one of these tiny modifications properly offer you a new workout to have fun with”.
