🔅Workout Wednesday🔆 Each Wednesday, officers of the Dallas Police Department will bring you exercises and fitness tips to add to your workout regimen. Over the next 6 weeks we will demonstrate the exercises for our Fit Force Fitness Assessment. Here are some key point for the push-ups: Assume the front lean and rest position. Place your hands on the surface, slightly wider than should width apart, fingers facing forward. The back, buttocks, and legs should be in a straight line from head to heels. The feet may be together or up to 12 inches apart. Lower your body by bending the elbows until the tops of the upper arms, shoulders, and back are aligned parallel to the ground. Return to the starting position by soft locking your elbows at the top. You may rest momentarily in the up position, but every effort should be made to move continuously through-out the test period. There is no time limit and the score is the number of correct push-ups completed. *Consult a physician before starting any exercise program* #workoutwednesday #traininsane #stayhydrated
