Well I don't do push-ups..but I lift weights at the gym/do cardio twice a week...does that count?

I just realised i've been doing it wrong... if sets don't matter i'm actually doing about 60 a day at the moment... plus a bunch of other exercise.

I'll just play along in my head and post my final result, about 2 months ago I was doing 300 a Day... damn you Over indulgent christmas *Shakes Fist*

Well it counts as exercise obviously but it isn't the challenge. I picked push-ups for several reasons:

1. Push-ups are probably the most basic and fundamental upper-body exercise.
2. They require no gym membership, equipment, and relatively little time to perform.
3. The relative simplicity of push-ups makes them a good place to start for beginners, and a good thing to keep up for "veterans".
4. Exercises in which you move your body like push-ups, pull-ups, and squats activate more muscle fibers than any kind of weight lifting that doesn't (presses, pull-downs, extensions, etc.).
5. Push-ups more than any other exercise help prevent injuries (A. You use your hands wrists and arms to break falls, arrest motion, and protect your body. B. Push-ups work your core muscles also which benefits overall health and durability, even to areas such as digestion. Etc.)
6. It is also very difficult - if not impossible - to injure yourself doing push-ups as you are using only your body weight.
Etc.

Even if you workout already I recommend adding push-ups into your routine. It will only benefit you. In fact if you do just 50 push-ups every day on top of your normal lifting routine I guarantee you'll see a big different in just a couple months. :thumb:

Make 60 your new start point then. If you think you can do it. :thumb:
