How Many Can You Do in a Minute to Be Considered Strong?

Push-ups, a seemingly simple exercise, hold countless stories and witnessed health miracles accumulated from doctors’ clinical practice.

For instance, a man in his thirties once visited the hospital.

He looked pale and complained of constantly feeling fatigued and listless. His lifestyle was extremely sedentary, almost devoid of any form of exercise.

After some examinations and discussions, the doctor recommended that he start doing push-ups as the first step to regaining his physical fitness. Initially, he scoffed at the suggestion, thinking it too simplistic to be effective. However, following the doctor’s persistent advice, he embarked on a daily push-up regimen, starting with just a few and gradually managing to do over a dozen continuously.

A few weeks later, he returned to the hospital, his face beaming like a marathon winner. Not only had his physical fitness improved remarkably, but his mood and work efficiency had also greatly enhanced. This story is just one among many where simple exercises significantly improved the quality of life, demonstrating the powerful impact of push-ups.

Since I was young, I have always enjoyed reading biographies of historical figures, especially those about World War II, including documentaries and novels.
