All joking aside it's proven time and time again by real, credible studies and sources that the more muscle mass you have as you age and how high your VO2 max is directly impacts your life expectancy and quality of life. These are real studies abdnot bro science or faux science.
Considering how ridiculously easy it is to increase VO2 max it's a no trainer to do it. What kind of exercise do you do to increase your vo2 max? Look up "HIIT". High-Intensity Interval Training. Simply walking 30-60 minutes on a treadmill daily or just walking at a pace to where you can carry on a conversation can increase it dramatically in just 2 months. You don't have to do HIIT. Look up up Zone 2 heart rate exercises etc.

Same with the number of people that can't run a mile without stopping. Granted there are people with true physical/medical limitations so not counting those folks.
I can be guilty of being lazy myself so I count myself in the group that can do better. I would say an overwhelming majority of America cannot jog 1 mile without stopping. I would say an overwhelming majority of America wouldn’t even attempt to jog 1 mile. Correct, I would give it an about 3-5 percent of America is capable.

I do around 20 a set and about 4 sets 3 days a week. I do well over 100 crunches / sit ups 3 days a week as well. Add to that the yard work I do on my days when I'm not working out. I feel in good shape. My body shape, well, that's another story. It fluctuates during the seasons. Winter, I'm a little doughy. Summer, I'm feeling pretty darned good. Spring / Fall, I'm working on each size. AHAHAHHA

I usually do 1000 pshups in the morning and 1500 before going to bed. No testosterone or roid juice injections either Same. I do some in between too…never use max effort. I’d say I average around 40,000 - 45,000 per weekday. On the weekends I’ll up that by 10k or so…maybe 60,000 Saturday then again Sunday. Wow, that’s a lot.

Ever try corn nuts and a couple Natty’s before you start that routine?

I just turned 69 have not done push ups in a while just did 12 but admit it was not all that easy. I get quite a bit of exercise just by normal activity but will be getting a lot more since it is about yard work time. Considering joining a gym but have not decided for sure yet.
