3. Your hips need to go below your knees/ below parallel.
4. Your heels need to stay on the ground.
5. On the way up, push your knees out.
6. Open your hips when you stand up, squeeze your glutes.

Track Circuit

Tuesday/Wednesday: 2-4 laps around the track.  Stop every 100 meters to complete 10 push ups, jumping jacks, lunges, and curl ups.

Journal Question:Push up PreTest

This week's Journal:
Describe a 90 degree push up.  How many 90 degree push ups can you do today?  How many push ups do you need to do to pass the Fitness Test?  What can you do to achieve that goal?

90 degree Push Ups

This week we discussed the form/technique for a proper push up.  Push ups are part of the Health Related Fitness components we learned about a few weeks ago.  They test and help develop muscular strength and endurance.  The elbow must create a 90 degree angle when in the down position.  When setting up for the push up, we start in a plank with the hands under the shoulders.  The head is in line with the shoulders, hips, knees, and ankles.  Next week we will pretest to see how many push ups we can do with good form.
