PUSH-UP CHALLENGES DIRECTIONS: CHOOSE 2 OF THE FOLLOWING PUSH-UP

CHALLENGES TO ATTEMPT

THESE CHALLENGES WILL WORK ON “CORE STRENGTH”- THE

MUSCLES IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR BODY – LIKE THE CORE OF AN APPLE

ALPHABET PUSH-UPS

Tap left shoulder with right hand, then right with left,

etc. as you recite the alphabet.

ALPHABET PUSH-UPS WITH A PARTNER

Two students are in push up position across from each other

about arm’s length apart. Partners high five each other

using opposite hands while working their way through the

ABC's. This can then be modified and low fives can be used.

To make more difficult, go through the alphabet backwards.

PARTNER PATTY CAKES

Two people in push up position face each other. Tap right

hand to right hand and then left to left. Continue

alternating until too tired to go on. To make it more

difficult, increase the distance between partners.

.

PUSH-UP POSITION HOCKEY

Two people in push up position face each other about 5 feet

apart. Using a bean bag or ball, try to slide or roll the

object between your partners two hands. The partner may

stop it with one hand only. Students may choose to keep

score if they would like.

BEAN BAG PUSH-UPS

Materials needed for this activity are a crate, box, or

basket (Laundry Basket works!) which stands about 1 1/2

feet off the ground and bean bags (or rolled up socks work

as well!) Start in a push-up position with beanbags (or

socks) and baskets in front of them. Pick 1 beanbag up off

the floor with left hand and placing it on the crate, then

the next with the right hand, then the next with the left

until all the beanbags are on the crate. Now take the

beanbags off the crate one by one alternating hands until

they are all off the crate. Repeat for 1 minute.

TENNIS BALL ROLL PUSH-UPS

One student is in push up position while a partner is

behind them holding a tennis ball. The partner with the

tennis ball rolls the ball under the student in push up

position and the push up person catches the ball and tosses

it back to the partner over their shoulder. To make more

difficult have the person in the push up position alternate

hands.
