Best Answer

Lizards work out for the same reason a guy at the gym might: as a display of strength. And with lizards, as can be the case with men, the push-ups also mean "get out of my territory."

And a new study finds some lizards make a morning and evening routine out of the displays.

Four species of male Jamaican lizards called anoles greet each dawn with vigorous push-ups, head bobs and a threatening extension of a colorful flap of skin on the neck. They repeat the ritual at dusk.

It is to show dominance, rather like humans! It can also be to do with agressiveness, but supposedly not mating (so slightly different to humans).
