Intensive Variations on Push-Ups, Lunges, and Squats

Representing Generation3Media in outside sales capacities, Robert Cicmansky works to promote events that range from high school sports to air shows. An avid golfer, Robert Cicmansky is committed to fitness activities that keep him in shape. For those without reliable access to gym environments, bodyweight exercises are the new norm. These begin with basics such as squats, lunges, and push-ups.

One intensive variation of the latter is the walking push-up. This starts with a basic plank position and the left hand standing on a marker such as a piece of paper. During the press-up move of the push-up, walk the hands right, until the right hand is on top of the marker. Then walk back to the original position on the next press-up. Extend this alternating rhythm of walking the hands for 30 to 60 seconds. For greater intensity, the push-ups can also be moved in a circular motion, like a clock.

One intensive lunge and squat combination is “around the world,” which begins by stepping the left foot forward and lowering to a lunge. With the front knee positioned behind the toe, step back using the heel as a support and move left, into a squat. Now return to the starting position and bring the left leg back into a reverse lunge position. Finally, return to the starting position and keep this going for up to 30 seconds, before reversing sides and working on right foot lunges.
