0:00 Intro
0:20 Pushup capacity is more strongly linked to future cardiovascular events than LDL.
4:40 There was no difference in LDL or HDL cholesterol levels between groups.
5:05 Poor pushup capacity participants had higher blood pressure, triglycerides, and fasting
blood glucose.
6:40 Muscular strength has a protective effect on all-cause mortality.
7:35 The odds of survival over the next 10 years for 10 pushups or less are 15% lower.
09:00 Physical fitness helps save lives.
10:12 Pushups are a simple no cost measure to estimate functional status.
10:24 Women generally have less upper body strength than men.
I’ve been doing pushups, pull ups and chin ups every day since high school. Now at age 67 and on a Ketovore diet, I can do more of each than when I was a teenager. Every morning before breakfast and evening before bed, I do 200 pushups (ten sets of 20 with 30s rest between sets) and 100 pull ups or chin ups (10 sets of 10 with 30s rest between sets).
So 400 pushups and 200 pull ups or chin ups per day - and I’m in the best shape of my life. Eating mostly meat these days and the lack of joint pain I use to have before Ketovore is what I truly believe has made this possible.
That’s amazeballs! You must have great lats!
great 👍
( I’m not the only one then 😊)
Congrats. I started chin ups, dips and pushups. Have steadily increased the numbers.
Bravo! Don't stop.
200 pushups? 👍
I did 70 today and I am 66 years old. Just a routine part of my workout.
What did you do at a rate of eighty beats per minute? BIG DIFFERENCE!
If you can't do +10 push-ups, it should be illegal for you to be a fireman, police, and other similar positions.
Maybe not illegal but certainly these positions do have fitness requirements like when I was in the Navy.
It's not that they can't do 10 push-ups, but they can't do 10 push-ups at a rate of 80 beats per minute. There's a big difference.
Gender isn't mentioned, I wonder if that was a factor at all?
@@mouthface9710 I think they did only study male firefighters, but even if it was co-ed, women can't do as many pushups and they have lower risks of heart disease, so they would skew the lower end towards a lower risk of heart disease.
20 push up is enough..Studies always go to extreme to get results
Conclusion: Do Push Ups. This is not about "talking about" push ups. Not hard. Just do it. Costs no money. Eat beef and eggs. Avoid bottled beverages. Do push ups. Walk.
Best advise yet and do resistance ,dumbell ,cardio workout in between. Yup. NO SUGAR ,NO ALCOHOL, ORGANIC MEAT,PASTEUR ORGANIC EGGS.
@carmenross1077 cut carbs to a minimum 😊
And ..Dead hangs , chin and pull ups, the perfect partner for push ups and improves grip
@@carmenross1077grass fed beef , that's important , organic meat is my preference but must be grass fed
Let people watch the whole vide bruh, tf is a conclusion.
I am 239 years old, after watching this video I did 500 pushups! I will continue to do them every day!
I hear you brother.
As a 187 year old. I appreciate this comment.
🤣🤣
😂
I'm 240..one yr older. Lol😂😂 keep it going. Lmbo
I'm 70 years of age and just did 20 push-ups after watching your video! I will now work on this often. I have been using 5 pound weights with my arms for about 6 months, and I fast quite often, much more energy! Thank you for all these much needed videos.
It might not be that the push-up is magical, but the people who can do them also are health conscious and are healthy in lots of ways.
@@peaceonearth8693Correct, the study says "pushup capacity to exhaustion".
@@peaceonearth8693 Thats exactly what popped into my head when I saw the title.. surely its not the pushups or one's ability to do them.. it would be people who can do many pushups are usually working out and health conscious
Good job 👏🏻
@@jodistokesfitness Thank you!
The study has some flaws. The push up capacity is strongly correlated with age. Younger firefighters could do more push ups. Younger firefighters had fewer heart attacks. They really needed more participants and control for age. That said, I (emotionally) agree with the findings. I just think it is not very good science
Completely agree. If this isn't adjusted for age then what this is really testing is that 35 year olds (age group for >41 push ups) have less heart attacks than 48 year olds! Of course a 13 year age difference is going to increase your risk of heart attack.
This is pretty werid that High Intensity Health didn't choose to acknowledge this.
I was looking for this comment before posting anything. Thanks
And it’s correlated with weight, blood pressure markers etc. like lots of health markers are very likely correlated.
The study says what it says: the more push-ups, the lower the risk. They deliberately measured a number of risk factors. Some risk factors you can change by diet and exercise and some you can't (age). People can use this to test their risk and with that knowledge they could consider if they should try to change any of their risk factors by diet and exercise.
But that isn't what the study tested. Age and push ups are confounded. People cannot alone determine the protective effects of push ups because in this study push ups are correlated with age so you cannot tell if the protective effect is from being young or because they can do more pushups.
To determine if pushups are actually protective they would need to either control for age which is easy to do in a multivariate screening or cut the data for age and have recommendations based on different age models.@@GerbenWulff
Yeeks, there were active Firefighters that couldn't even do 10 push-ups? This is surprising to me.
"Yeeks"
What kind ? The majority of people don’t do them correctly as it is . Crap pushups dont mean anything to me . What’s the firefighters mile time in gear . Can they drag 220 pounds . Can they carry gear .. pushups meh who cares
They fact that they can drag 220 pounds is why it was surprising to me. It's a physical job. I naturally thought that the physical nature of the job would allow them to do 10 push-ups (even correct ones).
I worked with firefighters for many years. I’m not surprised at all. Many were very out of shape.
True, I'm surprised that everyone of them can't do atleast 40 minimum. Well I guess the demands are different in other countries.. perhaps they don't do any follow up tests after you get in.
It sounds similar to the correlation between grip strength and longevity
im going to assume it's people who go to the gym and work out... not their ability to do any particular exercise. With this reasoning I will publish a study saying there is a link between sit-ups and heart disease.
@user-xj5xp6qz5g yeah exactly. I assume that the stronger your grip and the more pushups you can do, the more active you are. The more active you are, the healthier you are. The healthier you are the longer you live.
I'm sure there's a correlation between longevity and people who can run a mile without stopping vs people who can't
Bollocks, power lifters die every day, they have amazing grip strength 😂
@johnrambo4245 people who drink water die everyday as well. Do you trust the correlation between hydration and longevity?
The correlation with grip strength is strongest in old men. It must be because many heath issues lead to lower testosterone and higher cortisol. And that leads to lower grip strength.
LDL is basically completely irrelevant to cardiovascular risk
And my cardiologist said controlling it was the "gold standard" and put me on a statin. Never had high overall cholesterol. I have been splitting the pill and only taking it six nights. Numbers still very low. I am 76 don't do pushups.
@@stephenkern5784 For me 10mg daily or every alternate day has had the same effect on my LDL and total cholesterol. So trying a lower dose is the way to go.
It's NOT "push-ups". It's overalll strength--which pushups are indication of.
Yes. A proxy. I am 64. I can’t do more than 35 on my 1st set, but I can do 200 in sets.
Yeah I do 40 -50 min of exercise. Walk 1.5 miles, then run 3.5 miles every day. Age 67

I set alarms on my phone to do pushups every hour from 10am to 8pm. The goal was to do at least 10. I often do 20. I don't always do it every hour, but I often do something every day which is far better than nothing.
Lol so you sweat every hour?
Sounds like you're putting the "exercise snacks" idea into practice. Nice.
@lonewolf5969 20 push-ups isn't enough to make me sweat
@@BUJU2007 Me neither.
Aim small, miss small. If you just do burnout 1x a day, you’ll be doing 50 in three months and 75 in six months.
Push up technique should be more specific. Many people when they do push ups only lower down a couple inches and able to bang out a lot more. Not as challenging as the deeper push up.
100% !!!!
Completely agree, and I'm very skeptical that the push ups were even close to a full range of motion, given the use of a metronome at 80 bpm. Those are very fast pushups.
I'm 56 years old and have trained since I have been a kid.
Gave up high rep pushups a couple of years ago now keep my reps lower by doing slower reps and bottom holds, not many more than 20 at a time.
So I wanted to see if I could do 40.
I put my feet on a folding chair to make it harder and easily did the 40 pushups.
I'm not surprised by the study.
In 1985, at age 38, during a divorce, I started preparing for the Army Reserve physical fitness test and was going to be a Drill Instructor: Inside thirty days I got up to 70 pushups nonstop in one set (I had previously served 5 1/2 years in the Navy, 1966 - 1972, and was in close quarters combat working with the 9th Infantry and 82nd Airborne during Vietnam. I had been exercising as a runner (3 to 4 miles on a track) for years. Now at 77, I lift weights....at age 58, I weighed 212 lbs, 5'11" and deadlifted 446, squat 365 and 255 bench. Even when only 171 lbs as a runner or 212 lbs as a weight lifter, my hydrostatic fat was 12.5 per cent. I still lift regularly, my wife does so also and is very muscular for a woman at 79 years of age and gets comments from Health professionals about her muscularity. I started training her when she was about 56 years old, but she has very good fast twitch muscles, I believe. She could smoke me in a wind sprint....a simple 25 yard sprint and I would be 5 yards behind.

Thank you
Thanks for sharing, just left the gym this morning, spinning class and lifting weights......from the Ozarks drinking fresh spring water
I really enjoyed your vid because pushups are an important part of my routine.I live on the beach in Central America so the beach is an obvious place to do my workout. I'll warm-up at my house with 60 pushups,stretching, and wallsits. Head out to the beach,walk barefoot 2.5 miles in soft sand,stopping along the way to do 6 more sets of 40 pushups.I arrive at a hidden cove to rest,swim in clear blue water,drink green tea w/lemon then walk the 2.5 miles home.Not bad for a 67 y.o. guy. I'm also an avid surfer. But like you said,push up are an excellent exercise for your heart. Pura Vida desde Costa Rica 😎
Good stuff, Thanks Mike.
Since LDL Cholesterol does not directly associate with heart health...
Hi I liked your video and I’m glad you’re talking slower now, than from that first time I listened to you. Keep it low just now. That’s why I listened a lot to Dr. Hyman even when it’s long. Thanks keep up the good work.
Super interesting! Many thanks for sharing
I recently saw a video about doing five sets of 20 push-ups throughout the day. I've been trying it and it feels absolutely great. It not only wakes me up, but keeps me practicing good form.
I do 4 sets every other day. I've done two sets so far today, 30 and 31. I'm slowly increasing the number of reps I can do without sacrificing form. My blood pressure is normal without medication. I'm 76.
Great information in this video thank you
Until I broke my wrist recently I could do 50 push-ups straight at 70 yo. Also swim 2500 yards with flip turns. Trig 45, hdl 117. Ldl 179. BTW, 5'1" female.
Go girl!!🎉
Impressive ❤
Omfg 🎉 NO1🥇💪
Kicking ass
Gratitude. You had me at “Push-Ups!”
Perfect, simple, and free.
Make sure to also perform 3 back bridges for each pushup to maintain shoulder flexibility
Before watching this video, I had congestive heart failure, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, and I could barely walk.
After watching this video, I did 10 push-ups and I just got checked up and my coronary problems are gone, my blood pressure is normal as well, as are my triglycerides.
I can now run 10 miles straight at a clip of seven minutes per mile. It’s amazing what push-ups and a video can do for you.
Pull up are good too. Love your videos. Love the comments.
I am 60 years, don’t do pushups and have significant enough heart disease to have had 6 stents last year
Just did the push-up challenge and got 36. This has motivated me to do pushups and walk! I’m almost 6’ 3” and weigh about 230’. Lots of room for improvement
Just don’t push yourself too hard in the beginning. Take your time to slowly build your reps.
Once you get to 40 you're safe
@@BRunner12 hahahahahahahahaha. IKR
39 male, 36 push ups. Been trying to get back into exercise after post viral illness, after getting COVID. No pokes.
When I was 19 I could do 58 push-ups in 1 minute and I'm in my early thirties now and I ended up doing 41 push-ups in less than 40 seconds. And these are complete elbow lockout with the chest touching the ground ranges of motion
i'm curious what the standards were for this test. he talks about time frame and groupings but not range of motion. even mike's push ups in the video were only 3/4 reps
80 BPM
That means you need to do 40 push-ups in 30 seconds. How many can you do at a rate of 80 per minute?
I bought a a case of Push-Ups after reading the title. Man, life keeps getting better. Got the fruit variety pack.
People's idea of what constitutes a pushup varies a lot. They took pacing variation out of it, but still 40 "military style" where you stop at toilet-roll height is equivalent to about 25 going all the way down (maybe less if 80-per minute means 80 pushups per minute and not 40 (one second up and one down).
Im 78. I do 4 sets of 12 pushups several times a week. Been doing it since I was 19.
I think this study can be applied to just about any multi-joint movement because it speaks to me more about the health and quality of the muscle tissue versus the movement itself because 40 push-ups is relatively easy for most people, if they can build the capacity and the health benefits will be reflected in the muscles, not the actual exercise haha I mean imagine doing 40 burpees or 40 squats or 40 Australian Pull Ups
So you really think 40 push ups is easy for most people and easier than 40 squats?? Ok lol
I have been doing push ups since my hernia surgery 2 years ago it has helped me am up to doing 3000 push ups a week enjoy exercises
Based on the Kaplan-Mair curves it looks like the difference between the 20-30, 30-40, and >40 cohorts in survival probability over 10 years was not significant. These 3 cohorts hade >95% survival probability over 10 uears. If a person did 20 or more pushups, they were significantly better than the groups with lower pushups reps.
This is indeed really interesting
3 sets of 15, but getting back up to 3 sets of 25. When I get to 3 sets of 25,I can usually do 40 pushups straight up! I should add that I'm 58 years old and had my liver transplanted 5 months ago. I could barely do 1 set of 5 pushups 6 weeks ago. But despite all of that my progress and outlook is positive!
Thanks for the great sharing. Just notice there was big different in the age gp for those who could do only 10 push-up 48.4 vs 40+ push-up 35.1. I am not sure if the author takes the age diff into account while calculating the reduction risk ! thank you.
It feels like the data just shows that people who exercise regularly and who have the key biomarkers for cardiovascular health eg Triglycerides, fasting glucose and waist circumference rather than specifically the number of pushups.
So high number of pushups seems to be a secondary indicator rather than a causative reason for better cardiovascular health.
IOW, correlation not necessarily causation.
That's what I would think. How would push ups be better than doing body weight squats?
Yeah. That's the long form. Fitness is good.
@@ktcarl Legs are naturally stronger than arms (often at least 3 times) and if you have strong arms you should have strong leg's so those that can do more pushups comparatively should be in better shape than those that can do a comparatively high number of squats.
41 can do 43 consecutive pushups and my numbers are improving 🎉
I am 72 years old and I do push-ups daily. In the mornings when I do my first set, I generally can do anywhere from 75 to 90 repetitions in one set. My personal record is 95. I have been doing push-ups pretty much all my life on a pretty regular basis even in the seventh grade I believe it was I set a record doing 84. I think my form is pretty good. I do use those supports that allow me to go deeper into my pose.
nice 👍, you’re an inspiration !!
Thanks for the inspiration I'm 55 yo. and i told myself last night I'm going to do 100 push ups in the morning so I woke up. Did my prayer meditation then did 15 then 25 then 20 20 at 23=103 maybe I will work my way up to 40. Also, I've been doing the sauna at least four times a week since November
After your recent video re " 10" push ups I have attempted to do something along those lines🙈. Always loved keeping fit but 10 years ago ME/ CFS/ Fibro kicked in; so some days I can...and some days I can't...but I have a good giggle to myself trying😂. Thanks for your encouragement via your informative video's. I've watched you for many years Mike. Thanks. 💫
Surely you’ve tried pure carnivore just to see if it helps your condition?
I haven't done push ups in a while (several months) but I was doing 20-30 at a time. I thought that was pretty good for a 49 year old, but reading comments I see guys older than me doing twice that. I better get back to it.
Not bad. Keep in mind that doing 20/30 push-ups if you weigh 165 lbs/75 kg is not the same as if you weigh 220 lbs/100 kg (even if that weight is mostly muscle). When I was young I could do almost 50 push-ups. Now I can at most 25, but I weigh 55 lbs/25 kg more and almost all of it is muscle.
Doing 40 unbroken can be tough for me. I've had good days when I can do it, but usually have to pause in the pushup position between rep 35-38 for a 2-3 secs, then finish out. I've done pushup workouts where you pause in the pushup position to rest, or, prop your booty in the air to rest and done over 100,...really challenging for me. I also like to do a workout with pushups and air squats -- 200 reps total for each movement. Start with 50 reps first set for both. Rest a bit, then continue out with 20 reps sets til you finish, with about 10 secs of rest in-between. I'm 59. Today -- I did 40 unbroken no problem.
I've learned a lot by watching various health channels, including this one. With that in mind, the title of this video is "Push-ups Cut Risk of Heart Attack, Study Finds". However, this study is an *association* and finds that people who can do lots of push-ups quickly have less heart attacks, not doing lots of push-ups reduces your risk of CHD. No doubt that doing lots of push-ups will get you more fit, build more muscle at least in the chest, maybe the back and shoulders, and that's what makes you healthier, not push-ups in and of itself. Point is you can do just about anything and that is going to be better than that nothing most people do. I'm off for my Proteus workout.

Reminder to self, keep lifting dont stop.
Can you post a link to the study? Thanks
I wonder if, like grip strength, pushup capacity is a proxy for a number other factors. Relative strength (to bodyweight) in pushups is a good stand in for leanness. You won't achieve leanness and pushup capacity without significant time investment.
I log my pushups on a dry erase board and aim for around 400 high quality pushups per week and at least 1600 per month. I thought that was pretty good for being 54.
Yesterday I was going through a friend's limited personal belongings to bring to him before his release from incarceration due to drug addiction and homeless street life again.
I found a little notebook where he logged his pushups while serving 3 weeks in remand last November...he pumped out 6597 in 3 weeks 😮
Cool! Just imagine the doctor's office visits with everyone having to demostrate their push-up proficiency! What an image!
But wouldn't that be great! " Gimme 40 push ups"......." But I came for Statins!" 😂
Hopefully it doesn’t take the place of the super valuable knee tap test. How could we live without that? Doctors are such a joke. 😂
Especially doing those pushups while wearing the backless paper gown they make patients wear.
The Male Dead Lift Record is 1105 lbs and the Female Record is 700 lbs the male record is 57% more. Thats not comparable.
Unttil some guy claims to be trans and sets an unbreakable record.

@@Highintensityhealth The 100 yard dash records bear your point out.

Wow thank you 👍 Very interesting content and surprising too! My doctor bangs on always about LDL but ignores the low triglycerides. Pushups making such difference 😳
Fascinating
What was their insulin level ? Which is more important than glucose level. Furthermore what did these participants eat? Supplements?
I do 300 pushups Dailey keeps me lean and ripped 6 sets of 50 reps and jumping Jack's and pull-ups old school calisthenics u can never go wrong I'm 51 look way younger than that..
At 74 y/o with significant bilateral rotator cuff injuries, is there to your knowledge an analogous test, possibly squats?
Eating Oreos and doing pushups as I watch this video…
Statin free!!
lol
Lol. On a serious note, LDL is not any indicator for heart attacks.
Oreos are heart healthy and recommended by cardiologists🤡 everywhere. Especially to get out of evil ketosis
😂
Ok but just as long as you are deep frying the Oreos.
way more practical than gym membership 😊👍
it would also be interesting to see how this affects stroke (cerebrovascular accident) rusk as well!
I think doing a variation of exercises is best... And do them to enjoy them... Keep active.. I used to do 100 straight off.. When I was in my 20s...
Given the correlation between BMI and max pushups, I think just checking your weight and calculating BMI gives a better indicator for chance of heart attack than # of pushups you can do. Even a 'fat fit' young person will struggle to do a lot of pushups.
Sure getting fitter and being able to do more pushups will boost VO2max and improve health and reduce chance of heart attack, BUT losing that excess fat is probably a better immediate goal (but there is nothing to stop you doing more exercise and getting fitter while you are losing body fat).
"...I think [...] BMI gives a better indicator..."
Or, better yet, ABSI.
Great study and informative presentation. Of course, all of these biomarkers in this study are correlations, not causes. I am wondering what our theory would be about the lives the 40+ pushup group has been living to get them to these biomarkers? Do the people who do 40+ generally do more strength-training? Do they eat more red meat or spinach? I can take a guess and follow a plan, but science would be better. A follow-up study with each of the participants might be helpful toward this end.
This correlation could be a proxy measure for things other than strength, so it may be wrong to take away 'priority number 1 is to increase strength'.
Bodyweight is a big factor in max number of pushups, fat mass even more so. Those firefighters who could do fewer may have been fatter on average.
Technique makes a huge difference. I'm a big, heavy guy. I normally perform pushups on my fists with a slow cadence and challenging body mechanics (e.g. hand and foot positions), and I can do maybe five reps this way. My aim is muscular tension & fatigue, not high numbers. But when I occasionally get a notion to go for numbers and practice it over a few workouts, I can quickly get over 30 reps (still touching chest to ground) at the same bodyweight. My point here is that it's a hard exercise to standardise.
Lastly, the healthier firefighters will have been more likely to exercise in a way that maintained their pushup strength. That health may, itself, have been the important longevity factor, prior to the engagement in strength training.
I like pushing myself(historically) but my cancer flushing flares when I push it. Any type of HIT training. So I tend to do light weights or walking. Have you seen connections to insulin flare ups and HIT?
I'm in my early 60's and pretty fit but could never do a lot of pushups.
Any studies related to pull ups vs Push ups? Which is better
I have programmer muscles. I managed 10 last week and 13 yesterday. I guess I better keep going.
Yep, that was me last year. I do 200 a day now. You'll be amazed at how much energy you'll gain just in 30 days
I just turned 53. I use a power tower for my pushups/dips. I do 18 slow pushups AFTER I do 20 dips. I also do pull ups and do 15 wide grips and another set of 15 close grip. I do 3 sets of all of the above 3 times a week. Dr. Eric Berg ketovore with IF.
You're massively overtraining. 100% stimulus cannot be exceeded.
i like to balance my push ups with pull ups, too.
For the sake of shoulder Health it's better to do sets of rowing before pressing just like it's beneficial to do sets of pull-ups before pressing overhead. You really want to get the lats involved
I would say pull-ups are way more important then pushups especially as a firefighter myself
i can do 23 in a single set but I have only returned to push ups recently. i think height and weight/muscle mass plays a big part in push up capacity, as the chest is still a relatively small muscle group. im 15st 10lbs, but would probably be around 10-12% bodyfat at 15st 0lb. But that's my goal for this year. Drop and another 10lbs and get those push ups into the 40-50
Makes sense to me because cardiologists put patients on a treadmill for 10 minutes to access cardiac health during a stress test.
I wonder how this compares to strength only exercises and endurance only exercises. Would a runner or a powerlifter see similar benefits??
What kind of push ups were they allowed in the test?
Are we talking about having your chests lower all the way to the ground or just your elbows bended to 90 degrees?
These were obviously extremely poor form, and not standardized. Study is garbage.
Sorry, what is a given session again. May have missed the explanation.
Thanks
didn't know this was a thing cos i always set my metronome to 60 by default and do 3 sets of 80's MWTFSun, 10 minute rest between sets. 6 sets on tuesdays and saturdays. i'm 53.
What about pull ups?
I do at least 50 pushups all at once every day, and have done up to 100. I have been doing that for decades, but I still had a HA. My triglycerides have always been around 60 and HDL about 55. My LDL however, was high.
48 years old. I do one set of push ups to failure every morning just to wake up and get the blood flowing, which is typically 100-105 reps. I never timed it, but its about one rep per second id say.
I do three sets of push ups. I start with 61, follow up with 51 more about 2 minutes later and then 26 with my legs elevated on a bench. I do those after a brisk uphill three mile walk.
I know I need to increase my V02 max but I'm just not into that right now. Push ups though, sounds like a great daily challenge to do.
I would like to know if its just pushups or would your rate for heart attack go down if you walk a lot (over a mile) or do other cardio like hiking (few miles min) often. How about those who live in hilly cities where you go up and down hills all the time ?
Just did 35 in 45 secs. I’m 60 and my last bloodwork done in February showed my over cholesterol at 149. LDL was 86, HDL 45 and triglycerides at 86.
Work on getting that LDL up. Tells me your eating too many carbs.
@@forester057 well considering these numbers a year ago were total cholesterol 214, LDL 133, HDL 50 and triglycerides 175 I’m happy where I am. I also hit the gym every morning at 5am and work for 1 1/2. Oh and I might just drink more carbs than I eat. Life is good.
My primary doctor wanted me on statins. I said F that and refused to take them.
Is it alright that I can't do as many push ups as I use to? 63 years now. Also, shoulder issues.
Push ups, two days/times a week. Each day, I do 400, or 800 week. On the days I do push ups, 14 sets of 25, and one set of 50. I like push ups because it works all of the upper body muscles.
I suggest you follow doctor Bart Kay in relation to LDL Cholesterol info.
what about active elderly women? I do about 15 knee-push-ups on my calesthenic days. Jog 4 hilly miles on alternate days. Carnivore, TC 350, but HDL and Trigs both in the 60's.
Should have listened to Hershal Walker years ago! Never been a weightlifter. Used to play a lot of basketball and golf [ walking and carrying my bag]. I'm in the pool now 4 days a week to do what I can and walk when the weather is nice. Back not as bad as it used to be [thanks to turmeric] but really bad neck! On a low dose bp med and at 120/79 with 137 ldl. Have lost 45 lbs over the last 2 years and eat as much organic and grass/fed pasture raised when possible. Of course, I do cheat and have my beer and nachos occasionally. SOOOOOO what does this all mean for a 67 year old?
Are we talking a full push-up or the ones your on your knees to do? No way I could do a flush up. My muscles couldn’t hold me. What does one do To start?
It's a correlator for general muscle mass and fitness. Do not assume that getting more push ups in is necessarily equal to the results of the study. Nevertheless, you should do them. Weight train and cardio regularly.
80 beat per
minute metronome pace and 40 pushups is a challenging pace to keep as i approached 40 pushups; kept pace til 33
Thank God for the Marine Coros, I always incorporate push ups w my wkouts, thars a staple
is this causal or correlated?
Isn't it a problem to compare the risk with LDL cholesterol if the real problem is triglycerides?
Wouldn't that be like saying that drinking tea reduces the risk of heart attack more than reducing saturated fat ?
Am I totally wrong about LDL ? In any case, the fact that force has a protective effect is really interesting.
