Push Ups Before Bedtime

 Push Ups Before Bed 1

 This work out is for those who don't wan to train to achieve the 100 push ups in a row goal and don't necessarily want to built a massive chest. This is a maintenance work out.
  You can also combine it with one of the preparation work out, for example you can do the intermediate work out in the afternoon and before bed you can do this work out.
  You can do the Push Ups Before Bed work out anytime and everywhere.
  This work out will help you to sleep, you'll see how relaxed you are at the and don't last more then 15 minutes. I know it seem to be a log work out but it really isn't !
