Upper Body Move of the Week: Shannon Miller Push-Ups

This week's upper body exercise is really more of a total body movement, which makes it even more effective and powerful!  

These push-ups are called Shannon Miller push-ups (Yes, Shannon Miller, the 1992 Barcelona Olympic's most-decorated gymnast and part of the 1996 gold medal U.S. team).  Back, oh 20 years ago, I was a gymnast and one day, these nasty little push-ups were part of our conditioning routine.  

• Start in a normal push-up stance (arms just wider than shoulder width apart).
• Lower your chest to the ground, elbows out.
• As you come up, lift you right leg in the air.
• Lower your chest again, keeping your black flat.
• Coming up, lift your left leg in the air.  
• Repeat.
• Repeat.
• Repeat!
