Coppell Area Residents CRAZY For Pushups and to Help Wounded Warroir project

March 8, 2010 - PRLog -- Coppell Area Residents CRAZY For Pushups!

Coppell, TX – What’s old…is new again. Apparently the people of Coppell are going crazy for pushups as a way to get in shape…and give something back to our wounded warriors.  It’s called Pushups for Charity, and it’s causing quite a stir.

Created by Brad Linder of Get You In Shape Fitness, a fitness boot camp and personal training company here in Coppell, Pushups for Charity is a fun way to get fit and make a difference by supporting the Wounded Warrior Project, an organization whose mission is to honor and empower severely injured service men and women.

There will be Pushups for Charity Challenge on Saturday, April 10th at Coppell High School.  Full information is available on the  PushUpsForCharityCoppell website for those who want to participate or sponsor a participant.

“Our goal is two-fold,” explains Linder, owner of Get You In shape, the boot camp and personal training company running the Pushups for Charity event here in Coppell, “we want to show our support for the wounded warriors who have sacrificed so much for our freedom and security, and we want to engage our local community in a fun way to get fit.”

“The community is really rising to the challenge – there is a lot of interest in Pushups for Charity. I think that says a lot about our community’s interest in supporting wounded warriors, and is a reflection of how much people appreciate the importance of being healthy,” says Linder.

Pushups are one of the foundational exercises for overall body strength and lean muscle development.  Lean muscle increases metabolic activity so the body burns more calories.  Additionally, pushups are a simple exercise anyone can do almost anywhere.  “Pushups are a gateway exercise,” says Linder, “people feel results quickly, sometimes within days, and that inspires them to do more exercise.”

Pushups for Charity participants and sponsors receive a free home fitness program on video they can follow to prepare for the Pushups for Charity challenge and get into great shape.  All Coppell area residents are invited to participate or sponsor. There is a video on the PushUpsForCharityCoppell  website explaining the details.
