I was on a national radio show recently when the host asked me what my favorite exercise was.
I am known as the Push Up Warrior and of course I love push ups. They’re a great upper body and core move. They challenge your strength, stamina and discipline. They’re free to do and require no equipment. And I’m a confirmed push up junkie and I do 100 push ups before I leave for work at4am. On most days I do upwards of 300 push ups throughout the course of the day.
But I am also addicted to deadlifts. As efficient as push ups are, deadlifts are just as productive and challenging for the legs and core. On Monday mornings I do a three set rotation of a deadlift, bicep curl and shoulder press combo. I do reps to 30. This takes about four minute’s total time, after which I often feel as if my heart will bust through my sternum.
On T,W,TH and F, I do one set of thirty reps with a 50lb dumbbell in each hand. My legs have never been stronger or more responsive and as I inch closer to fifty years old, I’m starting to think a lot less about how defined my arms are and more about how important leg strength, balance and dexterity is to a long and active life.
So what’s my favorite exercise? I love them both and I don’t want to live without either one of them. Sort of like Sophia Loren and Raquel Welch.
Push Ups and Deadlifts are a great way to go through life.
