Why middle-aged men must do 40 push-ups

A study by researchers at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health suggests that middle-aged men who can do over 40 push-ups have a much lower chance of suffering heart disease.

The researchers followed 1,100 middle-aged firefighters for over 10 years, tracking how many push-ups they could do – as well as their performances on treadmills.

Click-bait:

The study highlighted, however, that since the test was done on male, active firefighters, the results may not extend to other groups, such as those who are less active.

Well, with that study design they can show that if you take three shhts a day instead of two you won't get toe nail cancer.

I think it is common knowledge that exercise/working out has long-term health benefits.

- Impact training (running and weight training) can slow down bone loss.
- Any sort of exercise that get's your blood pumping is good for the heart.
- Compound exercises such as squats, bench press and deadlifts help boost testosterone levels, which is excellent for men in their mid-30s and beyond as our test levels start dropping.

I don’t get this obsession with growing old. We are all eventually going to die.
