Blogger does 16,000 push-ups and shows impressive results (3 photos + 2 videos)
A fitness blogger has decided to challenge himself to do more than 66,000 push-ups in a year. Cedric Flipo from Montreal, Canada, started with one push-up on January 31, 2022, and increased the load daily. 
Documenting his progress, at around the 16,000 mark, he showed a before and after selfie. Followers appreciated his efforts.
“Say what you want about this guy, but he thinks and sets goals. It's a challenge. Well done, I'm impressed,” said one viewer.
In the video, which has over a million views, Flipo initially appears quite skinny, but thanks to daily exercises, he has noticeably bulked up.
In the video, the guy shared: “I have never missed a workout, except for one day when I injured my shoulders and could only do part of the exercises. Now, halfway through, you can see that I have gained mass in my upper body. If you are looking to gain muscle mass, I definitely recommend this method because it does not take much time and is very effective.”
Of course, Flipo is not the only one who has achieved impressive results. Earlier this year, musician Jackson Hunter did 500 push-ups in one hour. After the workout, he showed viewers that his arms and chest had noticeably grown.
While 500 push-ups is too many, experts say that being able to do this exercise is a great indicator of overall health. This is because it works most of the major muscle groups in the entire body, including the legs, abs, shoulders, back, and arms.
Harvard researchers have found that doing ten push-ups a day can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Earlier this month, the UK's largest cancer charity Cancer Research UK launched the 100 Push-Ups a Day challenge, with volunteers doing the exercises and posting videos on social media to raise money for research.
