You know I’m obsessed with keeping you off my treatment table—because while I love seeing you, I’d much rather run into you at the park, the pickleball court, or the farmer’s market.

That’s why I’m always looking for simple, zero-cost ways to help you build a stronger, more resilient body—and this week’s move is no exception.

💥 Move to Try: The Countertop Push-Up

This is one of my favorite “entry-level strength builders” for the upper body—and all you need is your kitchen counter.

✅ Strengthens your chest, shoulders, and triceps
✅ Helps you live longer
✅ Preps you for harder floor-based push-ups down the line
✅ Encourages healthy wrist and shoulder mechanics

Here’s how to do it: Watch the video here

1. Stand about an arm’s length away from your counter

2. Place your hands on the edge, just outside shoulder width

3. Keep your body in a straight line (don’t let your hips sag or pop up)

4. Lower your chest slowly to the counter, elbows bending to about 45 degrees

5. Push back up to the start

Try 2 sets of 10–12 reps every day this week, especially while your coffee brews or your leftovers reheat. It’s a no-sweat way to get and stay strong.
