You need to be able to do full wheel pose to be able to even do these push-ups, so not sure what some of you might have thought. Getting into wheel actually requires a great deal of upper back and shoulder flexibility.
Zuzka did a great yoga fusion workout with this exercise though:

Performing the exefcise on the blocks as Z describes does make it easier. And it cracks me up that she matches her work out clothes to her sneakers. Have you guys ever noticed this before?
Zuzka also does a walk over - a gymnastics move from her youth - on her FB page. She does it with a yoga ball first - first she craches (LOL) because she does it without a sticky mat, then with one, and then all by herself. Something I've always wanted to do myself. Perhaps I'll try it with a ball too. But I'm actually chicken sh*t to try it!
Today it not Killer Legs - it is on Saturday. Tomorrow if 5 minutes Fitness. So lets see what that brings.
On another note, Have any of you signed up for BR.TV's Advanced Boot Camp? I hope it isn't just going to be 12 minutes of 50/10......
