When space is tight don’t fright, you can still get a great workout in!
More often than not, equipment is limited or non existent in these scenarios. The only thing you will need is something you can lean on and put your feet on, a bed, chair, desk or anything that will support you. This will be a quick and intense workout that is sure to leave you pumped and out of breath.
The exercises will be incline push ups, decline pushups, flat push ups, air squats and or jumping air squats for those of you who want to make the workout more challenging. Incline pushups are simply just pushups where you have your hands elevated above your feet. Decline pushups are just the opposite, feet above hands. This is where the elevated object will come into play.
Incline is pretty straightforward, simply do a normal pushup with your hands on the elevated object. Decline is a bit more difficult, put your toes on the edge of the elevated object or shins if you are slipping and do a normal pushup. This can be hard on your wrists; you can try doing pushups on your fists if that helps.
Start with either a set of one of the 3 pushup variations aim for 10-15. Immediately following the set go straight into the air squats aim for a set of 10-20. Then immediately back to pushups, changing the variation again aim for 10-15. Then you guessed it- air squats immediately following the set. Hit your last variation of push ups for another set of 10-15. Follow this with air squats. Attempt to hit each variation 3 times with air squats between each set.
Remember, you should push yourself but be sure to rest if needed!
