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.
