  A quick and easy way to gauge overall fitness doesn't require fancy equipment or lab tests—just a simple pushup test. According to Mayo Clinic, pushups serve as a solid indicator of muscular strength and endurance, engaging major muscle groups such as the arms, shoulders, abs, back, and legs.


The article from WIBC discusses the significance of push-ups as a simple yet effective measure of physical strength and overall health. It highlights a study from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health which found that men able to perform more than 40 push-ups had a significantly lower risk of cardiovascular disease compared to those who could do fewer than 10. The piece explains that push-ups not only test upper body strength but also engage core muscles, providing insight into one's fitness level. It also touches on the ease of incorporating push-ups into daily routines without any equipment, making it an accessible exercise for many. The article concludes by suggesting that while push-ups are beneficial, they should be part of a broader fitness regimen for comprehensive health benefits.
