The humble push-up is often underrated when compared with racier forms of exercise, but the old faithful may pave the way to a longer life.
New research, from the University of Sydney, looking at more than 80,000 adults, compared different forms of exercise and found that those who did strength-based exercise just twice a week had a 23 per cent reduction in risk of premature death by any means, and a 31 per cent reduction in cancer-related death.
