5 Moves for a Quick Circuit Workout
20-Minute Circuit Workout
Push-Up with Row
Works: chest, shoulders, triceps, upper back, core
- Start in a full push-up position.
- The hands are in line with the shoulders and slightly wider.
- Look forward or between your hands.
- Keep the stomach tight so that your hips are in line with the rest of your body throughout the motion.
- Slowly lower yourself as close to the floor as you can and push back up to the top position.
- Row your arm back as you squeeze shoulder blade into the rib cage—think “back fat area.”
- Put hand down and repeat on the other side.

I really like how concise your instructions are, makes it easy to follow the exercise. There is one thing that concerns me though: have you heard of diastasis? It’s a condition that affects a lot of women, especially those who are moms! It’s when the abdominal muscels seperate and can’t support the organs properly and you get that mommy pouch that we all try so hard to get rid of. Crunches and plank exercises (like this one) put pressure on that connective tissue and further seperate the abs causing more problems! Yikes! Check out the tuppler technique (http://www.diastasisrehab.com/) for some info or just google diastasis. If you want some better exercises, or to check to see if you have it, go to fit2b.us and find her tummy safe path and there’s a video that shows you how to check yourself.
