Push-Ups

"I think her favourite workout is the push-up," Bryant told POPSUGAR. "When we first started training she didn't think she could do one. But she started on her knees and worked her way up to a full push-up. Seeing her eyes the first time she accomplished the full push-up was great – she felt the strength. Now she is up to 20 in a row!"

The Justice starts with 20 push-ups on her toes, and then moves to unstable push-ups with one arm on a ball while the other arm is on the ground to add an extra challenge for core strength and balance.

Here is how to do a basic push-up:

  • Start in a plank position with your arms and legs straight, shoulders above your wrists.
  • Take a breath in, and as you exhale, bend your elbows out to the sides and lower your chest toward the ground. Stop as soon as your shoulders are in line with your elbows. Inhale to straighten the arms. This counts as one rep.
  • If this is too difficult, do this exercise with your knees on the floor.
