Push up - week 1

When I planned push-ups, I decided to do 17 push-ups. There are many kinds of push ups but I wanted to make my shoulders wider, therefore, when I did push ups I positioned my hands slightly more than my shoulders.
This is the method that I found  to do a perfect push-up.


  • Raise up onto your toes so you are balanced on your hands and toes.
  • Keep your body in a straight line from head to toe without sagging in the middle or arching your back.
  • Your feet can be close together or a bit wider depending upon what is most comfortable for you.
  • Before you begin any movement, contract your abs and tighten your core by pulling your belly button toward your spine.
  • Keep a tight core throughout the entire push up.
  • Inhale as you slowly bend your elbows and lower yourself until your elbows are at a 90 degree angle.
  • Exhale as you begin pushing back up to the start position
  • Don't lock out the elbows; keep them slightly bent.
  • Repeat for as many repetitions as your workout routine requires.
It was much harder to do push ups than before when I followed these steps. There
were learning outcomes fro this activity.
I had increased my awareness of my own strengths and areas of growth. On the first day I could do only 10 push ups but everyday I increased the numbers one by one and I showed my growth.
I planned and initiated activity. I planned how much I will do every day and I did it.
I had shown perseverance and commitment in my activity. I am doing this activity everyday therefore I showed my perseverance and commitment in my activity.
