Overall, for those who could do 11 or more push-ups, they had a 64 percent lower risk of a cardiovascular event compared to those who could do 10 push-ups or fewer.

People able to do 21 push-ups or more were found to have a 75 percent lower risk of suffering a cardiovascular event over the next decade compared to those who could do fewer than 10.

And those who could do 40 or more push-ups had a 96 percent lower risk of any heart problems.

Push ups are a bodyweight exercise. This study is basically saying that you have less risk of heart disease if you exercise regularly and don't get fat.

I used to be able to do 50 with very little effort, and would do them during commercials when watching tv.

I only tried just now to see how far I could get. Not even sure if the last rep counts. So I need to get back into it.
