7 Push Up Variations - Fat X 101

By
The push up exercise, or push ups, is a longtime bodyweight fitness favorite of many law enforcement and military agencies.  It’s basic, but effective in developing upper body and core strength.  I’ve had the pleasure of helping several law enforcement, fire department and military personnel get through their respective academies and boot camps.  Getting these people to master push ups, their variation and hybrids has been integral in their success through the physical fitness portion of their training.


If you’d like to get better at push ups, or just want to add variety in your fitness program or plan, try these push up variations and hybrids. 

In order as shown on the video:


Panther Push Up
Standard Push Up
Decline Push Up
Incline Push Up
Stilts (Elevated) Push Ups
 -Stilts + Accomadating Resistance (Any variation can use resistance)
Panther
 - Elevated Panther
 - Elevated Panther Push Up
Beginner Push Up

Doing these movements on stilts (elevated platform) adds a balance dimension that makes the movement slightly more challenging. 

Give these push ups, variations and hybrids a try.  If you have any questions, feel free to ask.  You can e-mail me or contact me on the various social networks (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram).

(Some fitness companies are not going to be happy with me.)

Advanced Tip for Better Workouts and Improved Results

Have you ever had a peanut butter and garlic sandwich?   Yeah, me neither! Peanut butter is delicious and so is garlic (used properly). But, while each is a good ingredient on its own, together they make for a disaster. You can view exercises and how they are implemented in a workout in the same way.  Think of exercises as ingredients. Exercises  can work well together like peanut butter and jelly, or, they can suck and waste your time and energy.   There’s a very important concept I learned many years ago that can improve your results, not only in fitness and any fitness goal such as fat loss, increasing strength, speed etc., but also in such things as cooking, music, art and many other realms of life.   What’s that concept?

The fat burning Fat X Diet plan is critical if you want to maximize fat loss while getting through my 12 Day Fat X Program.   The average person I've personally put through the program has lost 10 lbs and 2 inches around their waist.  It is extremely important to stick to the food percentage guidelines as closely as possible to burn fat optimally.   While most diet plans are extremely difficult to stick to, the Fat X Diet is not, because in all actuality, the fat burning Fat X Diet is actually more of a philosophy than the traditional sense of the term "diet".   The Fat X Diet concept helps prioritize what you eat, so that you can simplify the topic of dieting and get better and longer lasting fat burning (fat loss) results.  This really works! And, it's something you can stick to long term.   Like a fine suit, the fat burning Fat X Diet can, and should be tailored to fit you and your lifestyle.  The food percentage guidelines and philosophy behind the diet
