Last month for my “L” column I did an article on how push-ups are a great core exercise.

Not many people think of Push-ups as anything other than something they were forced to do (either by me in boot camp, or in their nightmares from gym class). Nobody thinks of them as working anything else but their arms, chest and shoulders, but they are a great core exercise.

It is one of the reasons I include them in all our boot camp classes. Plus I love to see your faces when I tell you what variation of the dreaded push-up we’re doing.

Before I get into my rationale, I figured I’d let you see a video of me describing my “why”.

Make sense?

If you have any questions, leave a comment below.

Have an awesome day and I’ll talk to you soon!
