I WILL DO 50 PUSHUPS WITH EASE

Approach the bench. "The bigger your bench press, the lighter your body will feel during pushups," says Luke Richesson, of Athletes' Performance. Here's part of Richesson's 10-week plan for reaching 50. On weeks 1, 2 and 3, do your barebell press and incline press an moderate (3 sets of 7 reps, 3mins rest between sets), moderately heavy (4 sets of l reps, 31/2 mins rest between sets) and then heavy (2 sets of 5 reps, 4 mins rest between reps). Do this in rotation over nine weeks. In every cycle, drop one rep from each set. For the full plan, click this site .

What's the best time of day to stretch?

It is seen that people who work out in the morning tend to maintain more regularity that those who prefer to exercise in the evening. But with the busy and unpredictable schedules that most people have, finding a regular routine is tough. So i would say regular exercise is what matters. Finding the right time in our schedule should be the priority. If done regularly, morning, evening or even a night time workout will show results.
