A member asked:
Can my almost 16 yr old son do pushups everyday is it healthy and will he still gain muscle (note he does 5 sets of 15 rep pushups and 25-30 crunches)?

Yes: A 16 yr old if otherwise in good health can do push- ups every day. Muscles strengthened are mainly the chest and arms( specifically the pecs and triceps).A good personal trainer can be very helpful in developing a work- out plan/ routine for your son. Best of Luck!
