Fitness<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

On his platform of nearly two million Instagram<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

A male and a female winner who achieved the most pushups or held a plank the longest were gifted $500 each.<\/p>\n

Besides the cash prize, the inspiration was to get more people moving, Langowski shared during an interview with Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“[It\u2019s] a way to encourage strength and overall fitness in New York City and all around the country,” he said.<\/p>\n

“We got together and we’re doing a plank competition, pushup competition. We had a guy just do 111 pushups<\/a>. We’re just getting people moving.”<\/p>\n

Langowski said the attributes of a great competitor include strength, humility and confidence.<\/p>\n

“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.”<\/p>\n

Having a bit of humility helps make a good competitor, the trainer added.<\/p>\n

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> a mile \u2014 the kind of basics included in an elementary school fitness assessment.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

“Get with a trainer<\/a> or someone who knows how to progress you,” he advised. “A lot of people are like, ‘I can’t do a pushup, so I’m never going to do one.\u2019 That’s not the way.”<\/p>\n

Langowski recommends starting with pushups on your knees or against a wall, then gradually progressing to standard pushups by moving onto your toes and lowering yourself fully to the ground before pushing back up.<\/p>\n

“You’ll be surprised after you do that for a couple weeks, a couple months, a couple years \u2013 you’re going to be able to do a lot,” he said. “Nobody was born being able to do 111 pushups. They put in the work and they started somewhere.”<\/p>\n

The trainer noted that in addition to practicing, it’s just as important to give the body rest and to support muscle growth with proper protein intake<\/a> and an overall healthy diet.<\/p>\n

But perhaps the most crucial step toward getting in shape, according to Langowski, is having the motivation to get started<\/p>\n

“I know that’s easy for me to say \u2013 I’ve been in fitness and been relatively fit most of my life,” he said. “And I know a lot of people are sitting on the couch and they either feel sorry for themselves or they’re going through a tough time \u2026 You\u2019ve just got to get out there.”<\/p>\n

The trainer suggested starting with a simple walk \u2014 even just around the block \u2014 with no gym equipment required.<\/p>\n

“You don’t need an expensive gym membership to get in good shape<\/a>,” he said. “Most of the people that I stop on the street, they don’t have a gym membership at all. They do it in their living room.”<\/p>\n

“And that’s where you can do the exercises I mentioned \u2013 the squats, the lunges, the pushups,” Langowski went on.<\/p>\n

“So, I would encourage people just to start, but also to get some friends or get a trainer, someone to support you and do it safely.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
