Do as many normal push-ups without your knees on the floor - then complete the 10 reps with modified push-ups.

Goal: 5 reps for as long as you can hold.

Extra Notes: Put a pillow down by your head for if/when you lose your balance forwards 🙂

HANGING CRUNCHES

Description: Hanging on a pull-up bar or equivalent surface, tuck your knees to your chest then return to fully straight position.
