 This thing about if you can do 40 pushups, lower heart risk? |

Is that all at one time--or over a lifetime?
If it's over a lifetime, I will probably live to be 115.
If it's all at one time, I probably won't even be able to finish this senten........................................................................................................................................... |

| I also read recently that if you can get up from a sitting position without using your arms or knees (that is, without putting weight on your kneecaps to help get you up -- you can bend your knees) then you're going to live on average 10 years longer than someone who can't. |

If that were the case, then we'd expect people who live in Asia and use squat toilets to always outlive westerners, and I don't think statistics bear that out, not with Indonesia and the US at least.

but you might put strain on your wrists, so you can buy those pushup up thingies that rotate. I've had two sets of those, I think, and gotten rid of them due to moving over the Pacific.

Should go without saying that this is an "all other things being mostly equal" statistic. |
