Sphinx Push Up | 5 | Hated | Not only was this move very awkward, but it was very difficult. |
Bow to Boat | 3 | Tolerated | The “Boat” portion isn’t difficult, but the “Bow” requires you to keep your legs very straight, and your back very flat (not rounded)…that is the challenge in this. |

Prison Cell Push-Up | 4 | Disliked | A bit awkward. It took me several rounds to figure out the exact sequence of moves. Plus, as I’ve mentioned, I don’t like push ups that much. I’m starting to think I need those push up bars Tony Horton uses. |

Plank to Chataranga Run | 5 | Hated | The Plank version of this is easy. The Chataranga version is next to impossible. Imagine you are at the bottom of a push up and you move your legs in a running position…It requires amazing abdominal and tricep strength. |
Walking Push-Up | 3 | Tolerated | This move is a bit awkward, but isn’t so bad. |

Lunge Kickback Curl Press | 2 | Liked | |
Towel Hoppers | 2 | Disliked | The trick is to keep your knees together. Plus, if you have bad knees or ankles, this will definitely hurt. |
Ballistic Stretch | – | – | |
Reach High & Under Push-Ups | 3 | Liked | The challenge in this exercise is when you have to reach under your body during the side plank position. |
Steam Engine | 2 | Tolerated | These are like crunches to your knees, except you are standing up. |
Dreya Roll | 3 | Disliked | Another awkward exercise. |
Plank to Chaturanga Iso | 4 | Disliked | The challenge here is that you are tired at this point in the workout. |
