Walking Challenge Walking Challenge Today's Workout Today's workout is a walk.   A "push" workout is a type of strength training that focuses on exercises where you push the weight away from your body. Some examples of these movements include bench presses, shoulder presses and upright rows. These exercises target the muscles in the chest, shoulders and back.   In addition to building muscle and strength, push workouts can also improve overall upper body stability and mobility. By regularly incorporating push exercises into your fitness routine, you can improve your ability to perform everyday tasks that require this type of movement, such as lifting objects overhead or pushing a heavy door.   Try a push day workout to strengthen your chest, shoulders and core.  GET THE WORKOUT Your Meal Plan Your Meal Plan Today's Plan These overnight oats are creamy, sweet and loaded with protein.
