Pushup Super Sets for the Holidays, Part 1


It’s hard to stay on track with your health and fitness during the holiday season. You’re faced with countless parties with sugary cocktails and food that’s not exactly good for you. One tip our founder Alden Mills suggests is that for every cocktail or sweet snack you consume, perform 10 pullups or 10 pushups. It’s his secret to enjoying the holidays, and we hope it works for you.

It’s also important to keep up a fitness routine throughout this busy season. This week, we’re outlining our Pushup Super Sets to work your arms, chest and core. We’ve provided links to the videos for each Super Set below. Happy Holidays from the Perfect Fitness team!
