In recent years, studies have suggested that many Americans would like to work out more but simply don’t have the time to do it. One of these studies found that almost 50% of people wish they could get more exercise but can’t find enough hours in the day.
If you fall into this category, you should know you don’t necessarily need to join a gym to get yourself into great shape. You can do something as simple as performing daily pushups during a home workout to change the way your body looks and feels.
Doing 50 pushups a day might seem like a lot at first. But when you do 50 pushups every day at home, it won’t be long before you begin to notice differences in your appearance.
Some people will do 50 pushups every morning. Others will do 50 pushups every night. But no matter when you do them, you’re going to experience incredible results.
Find out what would happen if you were to start doing 50 pushups a day below.
If you’re someone who hasn’t worked out much recently, there is a good chance you won’t be able to do 50 pushups a day from the start. Doing pushups might look easy. But it’s going to be almost impossible for someone who doesn’t exercise regularly to knock out 50 pushups on a whim.
But not to worry! When you make it your mission to start doing 50 pushups each day, it’s okay to start slow. You might want to do as few as just five pushups a day in the beginning.
The only goal you should have at the very start is to have proper pushup form. It will be very important for you to get the proper form down so that you’re able to work your way up to 50 pushups a day over time.
As we just mentioned, doing 50 pushups a day might be unrealistic for those who aren’t in the habit of working out. It’s why starting with a much lower number and focusing on your form would be best.
As long as you do this, it shouldn’t be too long before you’re inching your way closer to 50 pushups each day. After just a week, you should be able to do over 10 pushups at a time. And within about a month, you should be able to get all the way up to 50 pushups a day.
Pushups have proven to be some of the most effective exercises for those looking to increase strength. This is largely because studies have shown that you’ll support between 70 and 75% of your body weight every time you do a pushup.
You can, therefore, increase your strength every time you set out to do your daily pushups. Even if you’re only able to do one extra pushup per session, it’ll be a clear-cut sign that your strength is improving.
After about a month, doing 50 pushups a day should be well within your reach. If you aren’t able to do that many pushups per day at that point, you’ll at least be close.
As you get closer to doing 50 pushups each day, you’re going to notice many of the muscles throughout your body getting bigger and stronger than they were previously. The beauty of incorporating pushups into a workout routine is that they work so many of your major muscle groups.
When you’re doing a pushup, it provides a workout for:
The more pushups you’re able to do per day, the stronger each of these muscle groups will get. You’re going to be amazed to see how much better you’ll look because of the great workout pushups can provide.
Millions of Americans suffer from poor posture. Many of them don’t realize how damaging poor posture can be.
If you have poor posture, one of the more surprising benefits of doing 50 pushups a day will be that your posture will slowly improve. You’ll build up muscle memory throughout your body in the muscles we talked about earlier, which will have a positive impact on your posture.
You’ll start to stand up taller and straighter in no time. You might also start to notice that everything from neck and back pain to digestive complications will go away on their own due to your improved posture.
If the only exercise you do is 50 pushups a day, you’ll be a lot better off than many other Americans. You’ll work most of your major muscle groups during your daily pushups, and before long, you might be doing 75 or even 100 pushups every day.
Studies have suggested that it can take up to 66 days on average to create a new habit. So it might take you some time to get into a good groove. But you will eventually discover that you’ll begin to look forward to doing pushups every day.
You might also find that you’ll be more motivated to try out other exercises at home. You could even set up a home gym that can kickstart a fitness journey.
That’s where the fun will really start. When you’re working out on a regular basis, you’re going to do more than just make your body stronger. Studies have shown that you’ll also increase your serotonin and dopamine levels, which will boost your mood. It’ll make your mental health as good as your physical health will be.
It’ll be so satisfying to see what your 50 pushups a day were able to start.
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to devote hours of your life to the gym to get in shape. Doing something as simple as 50 pushups a day can change your life by improving your health in so many ways.
