Maximize those Quarantine Workouts

👉🏼 A couple weeks ago I did an IG Live on tips to fix your form for both push-ups & squats!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here are the 3 take-aways I covered for push-ups:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔹 When counting with the military/Army method, a correct rep is when the upper arm is parallel to the floor. Compare this to the ACSM method, where a correct rep is when the chest is a fist-distance from the floor (or a 4 inch foam roller).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🔹 Push-ups on your knees are not "girl push-ups" -- so let's just stop calling them that, cool? They are push-ups for everyone. They are considered easier because the length of the body is shortened which makes the push-up lighter. The length of the body is the only thing that changes. The hips should still be in line with the body!
🔹 To reduce the risk of shoulder impingement (pain), keep your elbows just slightly below the shoulder height. Avoid that 90 deg angle between the arm and the torso. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
