Fitness trainers one basic habit to get anybody back in shape with no equipment needed: Youve just got to get out there
Fitness influencer and trainer Mark Langowski, known on social media as @bodybymark, hosted a pushup and plank competition in New York City this week, where he urged the public to get up and get moving.On his platform of nearly two million Instagram followers, Langowski asks fit people to share their workout routines.He was able to meet more in-shape New Yorkers at his Washington Square Park meet-up, in partnership with Oikos yogurt on May 12.A male and a female winner who achieved the most pushups or held a plank the longest were gifted $500 each.Besides the cash prize, the inspiration was to get more people moving, Langowski shared during an interview with Fox News Digital.“[It’s] a way to encourage strength and overall fitness in New York City and all around the country,” he said.“We got together and we’re doing a plank competition, pushup competition.
We had a guy just do 111 pushups.We’re just getting people moving.”Langowski said the attributes of a great competitor include strength, humility and confidence.“The people who … did the most, they didn’t say they were going to do the most,” he said.
“And there were other people who said they could do 150, and they did 70.”Having a bit of humility helps make a good competitor, the trainer added.Pushups and planks mark a “good general baseline” for measuring fitness level, according to Langowski.Some other basics include pull-ups, squats and endurance challenges, like running a mile — the kind of basics included in an elementary school fitness assessment.For those who haven’t yet mastered these basics but want to get in better shape, Langowski shared some advice on how to get started.
