It is very easy to complete. Here is what you need to do. Firstly take a screen grab or photo of the chart below, so you can print this off. Then for the next 7 Days complete My 10 Minute Cardio Arm Workout, each day once you have completed the workout perform one set of Press Ups.
(Full details below on how to do press ups showing options from beginners to advanced).
Then on your chart use the box allocated for each day to write in the number of Press Ups you have completed. My aim of this Challenge is that by the end of it you will have increased the number as your upper body becomes stronger. You will also notice that your arms and shoulders will start to become more toned and defined.

HOW TO DO A PRESS-UP
BEGINNERS OPTION
The Boxed Press-Up is ideal if you are a beginner. This position means you are pushing against the weight of your upper body. Have your knees directly under your hips. Your hands under your shoulders. Simply lower your chest down towards the ground then push back up. Complete as many as you can. Aiming by the end of this 7 Day Challenge to have increased the number of Boxed Press-Ups you can do.
INTERMEDIATE OPTION
The 3/4 Press-Up is ideal if you are intermediate. This position means you are transferring more weight through your arms and body.
On all fours, push your hips forwards so you come up on the fleshy part of your knees. Your hands are slightly wider than shoulder width distance apart .

Do this simply by placing your hands on the wall and then take one step back with both feet then bend your arms and lean your body towards the wall until your nose almost touches it then push back to your start position. Ensure your back stays straight and your hips don’t sag. Complete as many as you can. Aiming by the end of this 7 Day Challenge to have increased the number of Boxed Press Ups you can do.
