Okay so I am not looking to lose weight, if anything I would like to gain healthy weight and muscle mass. Over all I'm just looking to get in shape and have some muscle definition through out my body...
What are the different variations of push ups and what muscle groups do they focus on? I know some do chest, arms, ect. I just don't know which does what and what is a healthy balance in working out those muscles...
Also I have been doing crunches, I counted up to 70 and got bored I can do more, but I don't see the point in doing 70 or more crunches. So what are some good variations of crunches, and what muscle groups do planks mainly focus on?
My biggest focuses are my arms, chest, back, and abs. I have good muscle structure in my legs as I have done a lot of hiking, swimming, and horse back riding in the past. I plan on going jogging with my dog on a daily basis now to regain a lot of that muscle...
In February I am going to start p90x with a friend so I really just want to increase my muscle strength and endurance before then. Because right now I'm lucky if I can do 5 push ups with out having to stop (and thats girl push ups
)
So any advice you can offer would be great, my biggest handicap is I have no money so I can not go to a gym and can not buy any new weights. I have two ankle weights that max out to 5 pounds each. So maximum 10 pounds all together. I know you can make weights with milk jugs and such, so I'm totally up for some creativity and making some things!
Thanks in advance
