Modifications
Sprinting: This can be on a treadmill or outside. The goal is to push yourself beyond your usual jog. Should be breathless after your quarter or 3 minutes!
Pull-ups: If you are doing this at home, I usually use a normal table that is high enough, and can be used for and do sitting pull-ups. It's pretty low range of motion, but it's better than nothing.
Form: Without moving your lower body, pull yourself as high as you can; your chin should rise above the bar/table. Pause momentarily, then lower your body until your arms are straight, and repeat.
Push-ups: Remember this can be done on your knee. If you are doing them elevated use a small low step of any kind, or a medicine ball.
Form: Look at my 6 day push-up challenge for proper techinque and form.
As with all forms of exercise, you should consult with your physician or healthcare professional before undertaking any of the fitness training discussed in this blog. Any application of the techniques, ideas, and suggestions in this blog should be used as a guideline. Always do a proper warm-up, stretch, and cooldown.
