The list can continue on forever. The point being, there are a ton of different styles of pushups that can supercharge any workout and break the monotony of the classic military style pushup.
PULL UP EXERCISES
Pull up bar, door frame, tree branch. This exercise can be done anywhere. When performing the pull up, DON’T KIP! What is kipping? Violently swinging the hips to help create momentum in order to assist in pulling the chest to the bar. There is literature for and against this movement but for our purposes, do a strict pull up.
LEG EXERCISES
Like push ups, the granddaddy of all leg exercise are squats. They are just perfect in every form. There is also more than one version of a squat that can be utilized to break the monotony of doing the traditional squats. Want to try something new? Check out these versions of the squat.
