Apparently, if you can do 40 push-ups, your risk for cardiovascular disease drops some ridiculous amount


That’s really not a lot of push ups, just to be that much healthier. There’s really no excuse for anyone out there.

40 real pushups unbroken isn't that easy. It's not that hard either, but you can't do it without some form of training

I don’t think it means if you can build up to doing that many then your risk drops that much. I think it’s more like those who are at lower risk generally also have BMIs/muscle mass that allows them to do 40 pushups. Doesn’t have to do with the push-ups. Has to do with push-ups as a proxy for general health
