We are doing upper body exercises to help core strength - after all a press-up for example is just a moving plank.

It is good to choose objective exercises - exercises that cannot be cheated. So chest all the way to the floor and resting on it press-ups

"Findings
This longitudinal cohort study of 1104 occupationally active adult men found a significant negative association between baseline push-up capacity and incident cardiovascular disease risk across 10 years of follow-up. Participants able to complete more than 40 push-ups were associated with a significant reduction in incident cardiovascular disease event risk compared with those completing fewer than 10 push-ups."
Thanks guys, I had a check last night and I didn't have a problem doing a small number of press-ups using a 'straight-arm to resting my chest on the floor' technique.

Not sure that I want to get competitive with it, but I will certainly aim to build up to 40+ in view of the reduced cardiovascular disease findings
