How to do shoulder push ups

A shoulder push up is a great replacement for shoulder press, if you do not have dumbbells. If you think you are not getting the full range of motion, then you can try to place your hands on two chairs and go deep. Start with the position shown below.




Go as low as you can. and come back up, just as you would in a normal push up.




How to do a Squat and Jump

You know how to do a squat. Here is a slightly advanced version for those of you who find a normal squat too simple. This actually works you butt as well in addition to the front quads. If you keep you closer together and feet straight, you will work the slightly outer side of the quads and if your legs are further apart, you work the inner side of the quad. Here is what you do.


Stand straight and as you would for doing a normal squat. Go down and do a normal squat as shown in the picture below.


When you come up, instead of standing up, jump straight up. Make sure you land on the balls of your feet and not flat on them. In that same smooth motion, go straight into the squat. Try to control the squat as you come down or it will put too much pressure on your knees.
