fun, accessible workouts for women
Take us baaaaack
While I was home a week ago (god, was it only a week? Feels like a lifetime) I did manage to squeeze in a few good workouts amongst the wakesurfing and reading and blogging and laying by the pool…. quite a few actually given I was only home for four days. But really, what good are holidays if you can’t use them to do a session or five? No good at all I tell you….
Two things I love: Family and fun runs. This past weekend I got to indulge in both, with my ma and bro in town for the Blackmores Sydney Running Festival….
It’s been a bit of a crazy week here at Lazy Girl Fitness HQ (otherwise known as ‘wherever I happen to be with my laptop’). Between regular work, training sessions, planning for my Vitality Show workout and preso (more info to come later this week) and preparation for today’s half marathon, I’ve really dropped the ball as far as posting goes. Fear not though, I’m back this week and firing on all cylinders!…
Sure, doing a double twist pike to lunge push up from a reverse headstand position is great, but sometimes you’ve gotta take things back to basics. Yep, in my humble opinion there’s a lot to be said for the simpler things in life.
I’ve kept that at the front of my mind while designing this little workout for you tonight. All you’ll need is yourself, a kettlebell and a sturdy step or box. And you know what? If you don’t have those things then just switch in a different exercise – it’s that simple.

A couple of weeks ago I gave you a push up tutorial, going through the basics of the standing, knee and toe push ups. Since then I’m sure you have been practicing nightly (right? RIGHT?) and will soon be ready to take on some more complex versions.
This week I’ve got six particularly fun push up variations for you to try. All will challenge you, some may try to break you. Don’t let them – you got this….
Push ups. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, you know they’re good for you. Personally I think they’re an underrated exercise – a good push up works plenty of muscle groups, including the chest, shoulders, triceps, biceps and core. They’re a tough exercise, and not many people really do them well. But let me tell you a little secret – the best way to get better at push ups is to do more push ups!…
