I definitely liked doing the worm pushups first. Substituted weighted planks for plank til failure and sprints for running in place. 👍

Jessica

Those Wide wpsh ups killed me from start, but it was achievable :) Thank you Bless!

Rianne

Enjoyed this one! Ab burner tough as always and sprints were a bit more enjoyable this time 😅

Susan

Whoops just wanted to take a screen shot of completing this and backed out so it says I redid it. 🤦🏼‍♂️ but seriously this was a good workout. I should put more effort into responding bc I really can do so much more. When I first started I couldn't do any Worm push-ups and now I can. Small victories baby.🤙

Yo, I seriously cannot express how cool this is to see that I can do the moves accurately & like keep up more & more. I’m seriously getting addicted.

This is just my hardest one, but at the same time I feel like I’m still learning better ways to do the moves. Like the leg lifts, my husband came out & told me I wasn’t going as low as you were in the video so we he suggested holding onto something above my head and then try to go all the way down and back up & holy shit I could feel the difference. I think today is more of a mental fight than anything. I mean I showed up, but I feel like I wanna do more? I’m not sure how to explain it. I just wish I could do the moves better & it’s discouraging when my body weight gets in the way. Ya know? I’m not gonna give up by any means, just a hard thing to face today.

Thanks. I’m ready to finish this week and start the DB Fighter program!

I feel that maybe 5 rounds is 1 or 2 rounds too much. Other than that, very happy

Week 4! Whew - stay focused, drink extra h20, and bop to your fav music. Discipline gets results, not motivation 💪🏼

GOAL
Get the volume of push ups without strict form while taxing the abs and shoulders

1. Lay stomach down on the floor. 
2. Position hands in a wide push up position.
3. Retract shoulder blades and externally rotate.
4. Flare the elbows out and press up into a plank position by pressing the upper body up first, then following with the lower body.
5. Finish in a perfect plank position by squeezing your butt, feet together and crunching the abs.
6. Slowly lower to the starting position. 
7. Repeat as needed. It’s a bit of a ‘worm’ movement.

Wide Worm Push Ups

2. Bend your torso forward at the waist by around 30-degrees with your arms fully extended in front of you and a slight bend at the elbows. If your arms are not fully extended then you need to step a bit more backwards until they are. Once your arms are fully extended and your torso is slightly bent at the waist, tighten the lats and then you are ready to begin.
3. While keeping the arms straight, pull the bar down by contracting the lats until your hands are next to the side of the thighs. Breathe out as you perform this step.
4. While keeping the arms straight, go back to the starting position while breathing in.

4. Using your triceps to bring your torso up again. 
5. Create space between your shoulders and ears at the top of the movement. 
6. Repeat.
