Start where you are!
As a women 50+ don’t be discouraged if you currently don’t meet the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) benchmarks for full push ups:
– 1-5 push-ups: Poor
– 6-10 push-ups: Fair
– 11-15 push-ups: Good
– 16-20 push-ups: Very good
– 21+ push-ups: Excellent
However many push ups you can do, aim to improve.
You can develop push ups strength with:
-Wall push ups
-Incline push ups
-Kneeling push ups
A great 5 minute workout strategy is to do 3 perfect push ups (any form that’s challenging for you) every minute for 5 minutes.
These 15 push-ups in 5 minutes will help develop strength in your chest, shoulders, triceps, core & even your quads.
