A study suggests that a specific exercise can help assess your fitness level. The findings indicate a connection between the ability to do push-ups and the likelihood of future heart problems.
Individuals who could complete 40 push-ups were 90% less likely to experience heart issues compared to those who struggled to complete just 10.
Based on your age, there's a baseline number of pushups one can do to determine a good fitness level.
