Lily Canter

I did 50 push-ups a day for a month, and the results were impressive

I have a confession to make: I find push-ups easy. I’ve always been able to do them despite not putting in any significant effort at the gym. My go-to exercise is running and I spend minimal time working on my upper-body strength. 

Unfortunately, this ability doesn’t extend to all exercises. I can’t do burpees, despite having powerful running legs, so there was no way I was ever going to take up the 50 burpees a day challenge. Instead, I committed myself to doing 50 push-ups every day for a month.
