Plate pushes are a great way to work quads, glutes, calves and, yes, even those all-important core muscles. And, as a special bonus, it’s a heck of a cardio challenge. In this video, one of my hardworking clients, Stephanie, pushes a 35-lb. weight plate from one end of Centerpoint’s basketball court to the other. She repeated the drill several times, resting only 20-30 seconds between pushes. Although Stephanie is an avid runner who’s VERY strong, this exercise really challenged her. Of course, plate pushes can be performed with lighter or heavier plates. She doesn’t know it yet, but next time, “Super Stephanie” will be moving up to a 45-lb. plate. BooHA-haA-ha-ha! (evil trainer laugh).
