The Perfect Pushup
Thanks for visiting my "Test It Tuesday" blog. Unlike my regular blog, this will be done once a week and give you a behind-the-scenes look of our "Test It Tuesday" trials.
Along with the help of fitness trainer Sarah McDonough, Demetrius gave the "Perfect Push-Up" a try. The results? While it does make each push-up much more intense, I think the focus on trying to make sure your wrists turn when you go up and down takes away from the whole push-up experience. Demetrius and Sarah gave it a "3" ... and I agree. Grudgingly.

This week, we put the "Perfect Pushup" through its paces. It's a device designed to make the work of doing push-ups not so much easier, but more efficient. Meteorologist Demetrius Ivory got a set of suction cups (that's what they look like) for Christmas. So we borrowed his pair and put them to the test.
A trip to Wexford and the Oxford Club was the site of this week's test -- and thanks to the staff at the club for allowing us to use their facilities. Demetrius was so excited about the shoot that he actually got a new workout shirt. I think he got it to show off his biceps, but that's just me.

Please send me your "Test It Tuesday" ideas and let me know if you would be interested in testing some products with me on TV.
