Get Certified Lover Boy Strong: A Push-Up Workout to Drake's "Push Ups"
Feeling inspired by Drake's latest diss track? Channel that energy into a killer push-up workout! This routine is designed to match the intensity of the song, taking you through a series of push-up variations that will leave you feeling stronger and Certified Lover Boy sculpted.
Workout Breakdown:
The workout is structured into four parts, mirroring the four verses of the song (with a short rest in between).
Warm-Up (Before you start):
No diss track workout is complete without a proper warm-up. Take 5 minutes to get your blood flowing with light cardio (jumping jacks, jogging in place) and dynamic stretches (arm circles, torso twists).
Round 1: Started from the Bottom (0:00 - 1:30):
This round focuses on building a strong foundation. Perform 3 sets of:
10 Standard Push-Ups: Keep your core engaged, back straight, and lower your chest until it nearly touches the ground.
15 Modified Push-Ups (knees down): A great option for beginners or those looking for a lower impact variation.
Rest: Take a 30-second break after each set.
Round 2: Now Look at Me (1:30 - 3:00):
Let's get that upper body pumpin'. Perform 3 sets of:
8 Diamond Push-Ups: Bring your thumbs and index fingers together to form a diamond shape. This variation targets your triceps.
12 Decline Push-Ups: Elevate your feet on a bench or chair for an added challenge.
Rest: Take a 30-second break after each set.
Round 3: Champagne Poetry (3:00 - 4:30):
Time to switch things up and work your core. Perform 3 sets of:
10 Push-Up Plank Rows: After each push-up, lower yourself into a plank position, then row one dumbbell towards your chest (alternating sides).
15 Push-Up Shoulder Taps: After each push-up, tap one shoulder with your opposite hand, then return to plank position.
Rest: Take a 30-second break after each set.
Round 4: Not Nice (4:30 - Song End):
Feeling the burn? Push through for that final challenge! Perform 3 sets of:
Max Push-Ups: Go for as many standard push-ups as you can with good form.
30-Second Plank Hold: Challenge your core with a static hold.
Cool Down (After the song):
Don't forget to cool down! Take 5 minutes to stretch your chest, shoulders, and triceps.
Pro Tip: This workout can be modified to fit your fitness level. If standard push-ups are too difficult, perform them on your knees or against a wall.
Feeling Certified?
This push-up routine is a great way to get your heart rate up, build strength, and improve your overall fitness. So crank up "Push Ups," and get ready to take your workout to the next level. Just remember, form is key! Focus on proper technique to avoid injury.
