How many push ups should you do at the age of fifteen?

Answer 1

That depends on your build and genetic ability. An awful lot of girls can't do any when they haven't had any training or anything. If your of an athletic build, 10 to 20 maybe 30 with rests. If your more sporty then you might get above and beyond 30! How many could you manage?

Answer 2

Fifteen is a difficult age for setting fitness standards, which is probably why you haven't gotten much of a reaction to your question.

Some fifteen-year-olds (speaking of boys) have already experienced a wide number of physical changes, to the extent that their bodies resemble those of young adults. Other fifteen-year-olds still look and talk the same way they did when they were 12. This is due to an increase in testosterone in the body. Testosterone is what helps to build larger muscles, which is why women generally are smaller and less muscular than men.

So, in answer to your question, you should be able to do as many pushups and you can. Don't do them every day; a better solution is to do 3 or 4 sets one day, and then take the next day off so your body can rest.

Also, don't get too obsessed with a single move or exercise. Everyone seems overly concerned with the pushup and the benchpress, but there are hundreds of different lifts that you can do. Remember to work your back and your core, which oftentimes are neglected. Add a regular cardio workout to your weekly routine. Mix it up.

Answer 3

As many as boys can! It depends on the strength of the girl, of course. To perform a traditional push-up, come into plank position, placing the hands a bit wider than shoulders. The back should be flat and the butt level with the rest of the body. If this position cannot be maintained, push-ups can be done on the knees at first, progressing to the toes as strength increases. The elbows come out toward the sides as the body is lowered to the ground. For shoulder safety, bring the chest no lower than the elbows, then push back up. if you're on the toes, feet can be wide to start or closer together for more challenge. When this is not enough, you can take the feet to a chair for even more work. Ten slow, controlled reps build strength faster than 20 quick ones.

Answer 4

Everyone should exercise three to five days a week for at least thirty minutes a day; ideally, you should do some sort of exercise like walking every single day, but three to five days will do.
