How many pushups can you do?

 

 

80 year old Supreme Court Justice

Ruth Bader Ginsburg can do 20!

 

 

 

Justice Ginsburg works with a trainer twice a week after a long day at court. She attributes her workouts for helping her get through a second bout of cancer. After her first scare with cancer, her husband encouraged her to get serious about her health and hire a trainer.

 

The pushup is a great test of general strength and wellness. Unfortunately, as our society gets more and more sedintary our ability to perform pushups has diminished. Pushups are a great indicator of how well you will fare if you fall and have to catch yourself. If you can't do a single pushup, it will be hard to catch all your weight and chance of injury rises.

 

So JOHO challenges YOU to get out there and start doing more pushups! From doing them on  your knees to doing them on three stability balls, the possibilites of different types of pushups are endless!

 

Just do them!
