Pushups to Boost Metabolism

Video Transcript

"Okay, so usually when you're outside in the great outdoors, there's a bench or there's a rock or there's a log or there's something where you can stop and you can get the most of your trail walk or your hike. So right now I'm on a bench and I'm going to use this bench to show you how you can work your upper body. So we're going to start with pushups. Pushups are great for working your chest and your arms and really strengthening your upper body. So let's use this bench and do some pushups. First I'm going to center myself, this is the easier pushup. To center myself right here, hands are going to be shoulder width apart, my back is going to be completely flat and I'm just going to push myself up and down. And I'm definitely breathing. So now that's a basic pushup if you want to add a different level of difficulty, then you can come down to the lower portion of the bench and do the same thing. And if you feel comfortable, you can just get down on the ground and push it up from there. So this is the basic of how you do pushups using a bench or if there's a rock or a log or something like that, works just as well."
