@mrphysio68: Can you do 40 push-ups? Your heart might thank you. 💪❤️ A Harvard study published in JAMA Network Open tracked 1,104 active men for 10 years and found something striking — men who could do 40+ push-ups had a 96% lower risk of cardiovascular events compared to those who could do fewer than 10. And here's the surprising part: push-up capacity was actually a stronger predictor of heart risk than treadmill fitness tests — and it costs absolutely nothing. This doesn't mean push-ups alone "fix" your heart. What it means is that your push-up capacity is a mirror of your overall muscular and cardiovascular fitness — and that fitness is what protects your heart long-term. So next time someone skips strength training thinking it's "just for looks" — show them this. 🫀 📌 Source: Yang et al., JAMA Network Open, 2019 — Harvard T.H.
