Rest for 60 seconds and repeat 2-3 more rounds.

SQUAT: Start with your feet slightly wider than shoulder width apart. Roll your shoulders back and then down away from your ears (to help keep your back straight). Keeping your back straight, push your hips back slightly and bend your knees to lower your hips towards the floor. Make sure you keep your feet flat and weight in your heels. Lower yourself until your thighs are parallel with the floor and then push back up to the starting position.

PRESS UP: Get in a kneeling position, then bend forward and place your hands on the floor, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Step your legs back, one at a time (for a full press up). Your feet should be closer than shoulder-width apart, but not locked together at the ankles, and your body should make a straight line (to make it easier you can drop to your knees and lift your lift your feet off the floor). Bend your elbows to lower yourself to the floor. Your goal should be to almost touch your chest to the ground. As a general rule, stop the motion when your elbows reach a 90-degree angle. As you push back up, maintain the same straight-line form and don’t lock your elbows as you reach the top of your press up.
