Three Ways to Thrive
Coach Jeff is a little selfish today, because I'm featuring three exercises I like quite a bit. It's unfortunate so many people dislike these exercises, because they really can make a huge difference in your exercise program if you incorporate them.

Speaking of better health, I want to remind you that you can find my complete, step-by-step diet, nutrition, and exercise program geared toward beginners who wish to lose weight at ThreeWeeksToThrive.com.

	Pullup	3	12	I know... you don't like pull-ups. But you can do them. You really can. Check the pull-up page for tips. Work on stretch band (door) pull downs or plain rowing with the band if you can't do pull-ups, but try to spend some time practicing them. If you have access to an assisted machine, use that. Perform three sets, reps are 8, 10, and 12.
	Hindu Pushup	3	12	Try this interesting variation on standard pushups. If can't do these, work on regular pushups (from your feet, knees, wall, etc) or you can try the alligator walk instead. Three sets reps are 8, 10, and 12. If this is to easy, try doing 2-4 mini sets of 8-12 each set.
	Burpee / Squat Thrust Jump	3	10	Now for the hard part... burpees. These are very tiring, but great exercise. Try to keep moving for each set. If you can't do the pushup part anymore, just skip that and do straight jump squats or jump and tuck squats. Three sets, reps are 6, 8, and 10.
