Stop grimacing and listen up! We are more than half way through April and that means...SUMMERTIME is almost here. Stop pinching your waist and thinking hopeless thoughts!

I am going to get you into that bathing suit and you are going to feel good about it, damnit!

So we start with the PUSH -UP. I know, I know... but it is truely one of the greatest exercises around because it tones your entire body - especially the abs, chest, arms and back. Hmmm... all your parts not covered by your  bikini or (god forbid) speedo.  ~ Can i digress? I mean why a speedo? Who told you it would be a good idea to wrap your junk in  lycra and spandex and then get it wet....No. Just no. ~

Do It Right or Don't Do It At All

Assume a prone (face down) position on the floor or other hard surface that's able to support your body weight. Keep your feet together.

Place your hands under your shoulders with your palms on the ground. Curl your toes upward (towards your head) so that the balls of your feet touch the ground.  This position is called "plank," it is the beginning and ending position for your push up.

As you raise and lower yourself be sure to keep your head in alignment by looking slightly ahead and not down flat to the floor . Once you start to burn out, it is OK to go down to your knees.

Here is a demo:

If you think that's hard....

*YEAH*

So start small (no guinness records just yet) and each day add a few more.

Here is a crap-ass video of me joining the fun ~ can you see how much fun I am having?

 Get it done!
