"Now you should really be feeling your cardiovascular system pumping and working. Now we're going to go back down to the mat and this time we're going to do push ups. We're going to do push ups for one minute. You can do push ups the regular way or you can do it an alternative way. I'll show you both ways. If you're not so good at push ups, start out with, we can do an alternative way which is on your knees. You want to have your hands about shoulder-width apart. Bring your knees back until your back is at a slant, you want to keep your butt pulled in. What we do - just push down and up, and you're breathing. You keep this up for one full minute. If you've really got strength and you can do it, then go up on your toes, hands shoulder-width apart under your chest, and just push it up. You want to keep doing that for one minute. You want to keep it up no matter what. If at any time you get too tired, just hold it in a plank position until your minute is up, and then let's move onto the next thing."
