Extreme Pushups By Fitness Legend Jack LaLanne

By the time Bruce Lee shocked the martial arts community with his fingertip pushups in the mid 60s there was a guy who had already been on TV with his own daily show promoting fitness and healthy life style for about 15 years.

His name: Jack LaLanne.

Jack LaLanne is considered the “Godfather of Fitness”. Rightfully so,  in my humble opinion.

His TV show ran for 34 years and is considered the longest running fitness program in TV history.

Would you be interested to see an extreme pushup by the guy who set a world record by doing 1,033 pushups in 23 minutes at the age of 42?

I thought so.

Jack LaLanne by the way turned 95 last September and is still going strong.

Here’s the short clip I found which must have been an excerpt of his show during the 50s.

Take it easy!

FREE: 5 Unique Pushups To Elevate Your Training Program

Every martial artist knows how important pushups are in any training program.

Boy, I sure do. And we did a lot of them in karate, boxing and Muay Thai.

Pushups are considered by many experts the single most effective exercise not only because of the number of different muscles involved.

The primary muscles used are generally, chest, triceps, anterior deltoid muscles.

Also positively affected are lower back, biceps and leg quadriceps.

Depending on how large of a pushup workout you implement, you are even improving your metabolism, circulation and cardiovascular health.

And you’re only using your own bodyweight!!!

I have selected 5 unique pushups demonstrated in a video that is just over 2 minutes.

You’re gonna love it!
