How Fit Are You? Well, How Many Push-Ups Can You Do?

How Fit Are You? Well, How Many Push-Ups Can You Do?
"One of the most proficient indicators of individual fitness level is the number of pushups you're capable of performing in a 30-second time interval.
Young adults are naturally more capable of achieving a high number of pushups in a given time period than middle-aged adults in their 40s and 50s."  read more

TOPFIT says: Although pushups can be one measure of fitness, it certainly isn't "one of the most proficient indicators" as stated in the article.
Also, about the sentence "Young adults are naturally more capable....", I say BULLSHIT!!
How many can YOU do?


TOPFIT Daily Activities --- Lower Table Rock Run
I thought I'd get out before the heat really hit for a run on Lower Table Rock this morning......didn't quite make it though.  I still got out for a really good run, but I didn't manage to beat the heat.

About Your Trainer

Medford, OR, United States
Hi! I'm Patrick Frey, your in-home, online and on-the-trail Personal Trainer, Fitness Educator, and Strength & Conditioning Specialist. With over 35 years of fitness experience, and certifications from the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the International Sports Sciences Association, and the American Council on Exercise, I have the knowledge and experience you need to reach your health and fitness goals. My interests over the years have included running, bicycling, cross-country skiing, hiking, backpacking, bodybuilding, powerlifting, olympic lifting, volleyball, and general health, fitness and nutrition. I've trained hundreds of people of all ages and abilities from elite athletes to sedentary couch potatoes, in everything from well equipped gyms to un-equipped homes, online, in the park and on the trails. To me, there's nothing more exciting than helping people improve their health, look better, feel better, or improve their sports performance.
