3 Weeks to 50 Push-Ups

Push-ups have long been used in the military, navy and other extreme fitness programs. The benefits of doing push-ups are numerous, and should be used by ALL of us! They not only tone and strengthen the arms and upper body, but also help increase bone strength by loading the body through a closed kinetic chain. Basically closed kinetic chain exercises (exercises using our body weight, with our hands or feet in contact with the ground) load the bones in a positive way. It produces a compressive force through the bones, which promotes the “bone building” cells to lay down extra layers to the bone. This then strengthens the bone.

Now that you know that weight-bearing exercises are good for you, and also that you more than likely wouldn’t mind some toned arms, I challenge you to a 21 Day Push-Up Challenge. Follow the program every day for 21 days, and see your body start to transform! After all, you can do a push-up ABSOLUTELY ANYWHERE (you don’t need to go to the gym to them)! If you are worried about the traditional push-up, you may start with wall push-ups or with modified (kneeling) push-ups. Within a few weeks, you will be amazed at the difference in strength that you have!
