Hello all,

I am writing this from the lobby of Safelite, since I had to get my window replaced. Shout out to whomever smashed it  in last night in the DMTC parking lot “You better look gosh darn sexy in my swim suit and pj’s, because I never got to wear them!” JERKS!

(also this would have been posted complete with a joke while I sat in the lobby waiting area, however they are one of the only company buildings I know who doesn’t have wireless internet, hello this is 2011, not 1998 haha)

Alright enough Debbie downer time, and on to some working out!

Medicine Ball Push ups:
(If you don't have a medicine ball, a foam block (mom) will will the same... or anything sturdy enough to hold your weight that is approximately 3-6 inches off the ground.)
Place your left hand on the ball (or block) and perform push-ups as normal.
Now place your right hand on the ball (or block) and perform push-ups as normal.
Now both hands on the ground and perform your push ups so that your chest touches the ball (or block)
Finally put both hands on the block and perform push ups as "normal"
