Here's what I believe. If every mom (and dad) set a workout goal to “do their age in push-ups” (one push-up for each year of life) on three non-consecutive days each week they would be amazed at how their world continuously changes for the better - year after year. The exercise is that powerful.

As a personal trainer, I worked with a 50-year-old woman who couldn't do one full push-up. She told me I was insane (literally) when I suggested it would be possible for her to do 50 or more in one set. We established a clear plan, took it one workout at a time and in less than 8 months, to the amazment of several bystanders and her family, she did 51 full push-ups from the ground (lowering her chest slightly below her elbows, like the picture above, on each rep).
