EXPERTS REVEAL AMOUNT OF PUSH-UPS YOU SHOULD DO DEPENDENT ON YOUR AGE

There are many ways to gauge your level of fitness, but one medical center has suggested that there is a straightforward way to assess one area of your fitness with ease. Tell me, when was the last time you performed a push-up? Because this might be a good way to just test your muscular endurance and strength, according to private medical center The Mayo Clinic. Additionally, based on your age, they have indicated the expected number you should be able to reach.

There are many ways to test your fitness and health, but according to the clinic's report, figuring out how you should compare to others in your age group is a good way to gauge how much you need to improve. In your opinion, how well would you fit into your age group? Because it may be higher than you anticipated.

Depending on your gender, there are also different expectations.

Women should be able to perform 20 pushups by the time they are 25, and men should be able to perform 28.

Women should be able to perform 19 at age 35, while men should be able to perform 21.

It drops to 14 for women and 16 for men at age 45.

At the same age, men are expected to be between 12 and 10, while women between the ages of 55 and 65 are expected to be 10.

"The majority of my clients exercise two to three times a week and have moderate lifestyles. Considering that, I think realistic norms might be higher for men with a sports background by roughly five to ten repetitions and lower for women by roughly three to five repetitions compared to the Mayo Clinic's recommendations." Alexeyenko also pointed out that it is more challenging to establish a rigid "age-to-push-up correlation" because physical strength and endurance can be impacted by a variety of factors. Training history, prior injuries, joint mobility, diet, and stress levels are a few examples of these variables. Therefore, if you were unable to hit the target, don't be too hard on yourself.
