I remember someone talking to me about how they did 10 pushups every hour all day long, and it got them into shape. I was wondering if anybody knew about the workout, or could find anything about this workout online...
If it's a solid safe workout, or if it's bunk.
Thanks

That workout is a load of crap.
I seriously suggest that you never accept any advise from the person who told you that.
Losing weight is not magical. There is nothing complicated or intricate about it. You will lose weight by consuming fewer calories than you take in. But, the goal should be to lose fat - you do not want to lose muscle. In fact, you should be trying to gain muscle because the more muscle you have, the more calories your body will burn - even while you are sleeping. More muscle = higher metabolism.
The best, most effective way of lossing fat while gaining/preserving muscle is by combining diet, cardio, and weight-training.
Both men and women should weight-train. I don't mean just going through the motion, i mean progressive weight-training. You should train every muscle group, not just one or two specific areas.
Simply cutting your calories may not help. If you do not eat enough food, your body will start tearing down muscle for energy. Your body will think that you are starving and your metabolism will slow down - making it more difficult to burn fat.
I would suggest highering a personal trainer and a nutritionist.
If you can't do that, find someone at the gym who knows what he/she is doing and see if you can train with him/her.
Stay away from the people who do only cardio classes or use the 'beach ball" a lot. Those are more gimmicks. You should find a lean, muscular person to train with - same thing goes with trainers. If the trainer knows what he/she is doing, they will not be fat and weak.

No it is not a solid thought to do them frequently taking place, and you get carry of to ask your self, why? Your physique desires a minimum of 40 8 hours to take a seat down back from a "ideal" workout consultation. in case you probably did a ideal workout consultation you does not would desire to do pushups.

Just do your push-ups. How about washing a car...it's more efficient...at least a car gets cleaned.
