Personal trainer completes week of 70 plank push-ups
A personal trainer recently took on a challenge of doing 70 walking plank push-ups every day for one week. The trainer wanted to see how this exercise would affect her upper body strength and overall fitness. Walking plank push-ups are a variation of the standard push-up. They require the person to step sideways while in a plank position before performing a push-up. This move not only targets the chest and shoulders but also engages the core and legs. During the week, the trainer noticed the exercise took longer to complete than usual. The added plank walks made her muscles work harder. She also used a resistance band during some sets, which increased the challenge. However, she reminded others that muscles need rest and recovery to grow stronger. As the week progressed, the trainer felt more tension in her arms, particularly in her triceps. By the end of the seven days, she experienced soreness but no visible changes in her physique. She emphasized that building strength takes consistent practice and a varied workout routine. In summary, while walking plank push-ups enhanced her workout experience, they did not drastically change her appearance in one week. The trainer found value in incorporating new movements into her routine to complement her overall fitness regimen.
