Beginning in the 1920\u2019s \u201cGiant Orange\u201d stands began to populate the highways and roads of California. Erected in 1936 Bono\u2019s \u201cGiant Orange\u201d was put up next to the family\u2019s original route 66 restaurant to help supplement income. Today a few of these giant oranges can still be found off the highways and roads of California. Bono\u2019s Historical Orange is one of the last remaining \u201cGiant Oranges\u201d from this era.<\/p>\n

Exercise Type:<\/span><\/strong> Upper body Strength Endurance. <\/p>\n

1. Find two chairs 2. Assume a push-up position with one hand on each chair. 3. Do push-ups.<\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Rational:<\/span><\/strong> Using two chairs to do push-ups on is beneficial for a number of reasons. 1) It allows a greater range of motion developing upper body strength and flexibility simultaneously. 2) Takes more load off the upper extremity allowing one to do more push ups (easier than doing push-ups from the floor). This is especially helpful if one is not yet strong enough to do push ups from the floor.<\/p>\n

Major Muscles Trained:<\/span><\/strong> Pectoralis Major, Anterior Deltoid, Triceps Brachii. Additionally the Sarratus Anterior, Rhomboids Major and Minor and the Subscapularis will stabilize the scapula while the Rectus Abdominis, External Oblique Internal Oblique and Transverse Abdominis along with the Erector Spinae muscles\u00a0maintain\u00a0posture and stability throughout the exercise movement.<\/p>\n
