Push-ups, Push-ups, and more Push-ups

So I apologize for being lazy in my workout chronicling.

I wanted my next post to be about my new torture device, but since I haven't taken the time to take a picture I might as well move on. Hopeful this weekend I will get the picture and put it up.

So I have been doing the (easy) APK warm-up for my almost daily exercise for a while now.
Basically it consists of:
45 squats, 30 push-ups, 30 sit-ups, 15 pull-ups
Some stretching, some agility foot work,
9 Burpees, and 1'30" of crawling, lunging around on hands and feet like some crazed creature out of a bad vampire chick flick.
However, I have also been starting to do additional sets of varied push-ups. Which I think are fun and incredibly challenging.

Sure we have all done the standard push-up but what about:
1). The one handed push-up.  ( I am terrible at these but can occasionally squeeze one out on my right side)

2). The Dive Bomber push-up. ( A combination Push-up and Yoga. You start in a spread stance with your butt in the air in a upside down 'V" formation. Then bend your arms lowering your head to the ground and then straighten out your body, keeping your head close to the floor, and then Push-up and arch your back as you finish straightening out. Then reverse the process for 1 rep.)

3). Planche push-up. (Instead of putting your hands in the normal push-up position, start with them by your hips. Now push-up.  These are incredibly challenging due to the amount of weight being levered over you arms.)

What I have found interesting about these workouts is that they require utilizing the core and abdomen muscles to lock and control the body as the arms attempt to perform work. If the Core is weak then the arms will fail. - Lesson of the day? I think so!

Lesson: The Lord must be central, Core to my life. It is only when I am strong in him (but more so - HE is Strong in me), that my true strength (which is really his) can be shown. The first thought that comes to mind is how our hearts exemplify what is core to our bodies, and emotions.
