The Gym Struggle

Call: (315) 382-3391

Hello and welcome to my site The Gym Struggle. My name is Courtney. This is a picture of me with my two Jack Russell mixes Jack & Colby. They keep me really busy and active. They are a big part of the reason I decided to persue a fit and healthy lifestyle. Dogs, especially Jack Russells, tend to have a lot of energy. They don't care if you are out of shape, unmotivated, depressed, or that none of your clothes fit. They still want their "walkies."
I created this site to support, encourage, motivate, educate, and hold accountable others to a more fit and healthy lifestyle. I am proud to say I touch the lives of others everyday that struggle with their nutrition, fitness, and overall health.
The road to a healthy lifestyle isn't a straight one. It is full of steep hills, curves, plateaus, and cracks in the pavement. I hope that you find something in here to inspire you.
- Courtney

Bend your elbows and lower chest to the floor. Keep core engaged and do not sag hips. Return to start position.

Modified Push Up

Push Up on your knees creates a lever. Start in push up position, lower your knees to the floor. Shoulders are stacked over wrists. Keep toes in contact with the floor so you do not dip your hips.

Lower chest to the floor. Then push away to finish in start position. Creating the lever allows you to lift just top half of your body.
