Day 16 Exercise: Pike Push Up

The Pike Push Up may look a bit awkward but it is a solid way to build up your upper body strength, especially your shoulders.  This will target your deltoids, triceps, pectorals, and various muscles in your back and core.

To start, get in the push up position, then walk your feet towards your hands so that with your legs and torso straight, you make a right angle (or to the point where most of your weight is over your shoulders).  Then, with core muscles engaged, bend your arms to go down, and then push upward.  You feel a bit of a burn in your shoulders and triceps, but after a few weeks of doing these regularly your shoulders will get some great muscle definition.

I'll be presenting 1 exercise a day for the next 50 days as part of my personal challenge to get in "Wedding Shape" this year and as part promoting of my side business, See & Be Fitness.All of the exercises will be body weight and free weight exercises, so no need for fancy equipment or machines.
