i mean if weight loss is someone's goal, they should be aware that they're really not burning calories unless they spend @ least 5 minutes during a cardio workout in a specific heartrate zone, 140+. 20 mins is optimal and reccomended. Doing pushups won't really lose you any weight, it will just tone pec and to some extent upper arm muscles.
I mean back in the day there weren't no fancy machines using your own body weight as resistance has been used for centuries, although chinup bar does this anyhow. But yeh all those fancy as machines I'd rather stick to basics. Nothing burns fat like running imo, I need to get back into that waiting on my heartrate monitor to arrive should be tommorow so I can train in that zone you talked about, that and using my rowing machine (not fancy) should get me into shape. But I figure, it can't hurt to be doing pushups to. Anything is better than nothing right.
And whats with the brew exercising anyway?
