Can you pass Dr. Oz's push-up test?

Oprah loves the energetic Dr. Mehmet Oz. He's making a big name for himself on the Oprah Winfrey Show, along with his sidekick, Dr. Michael Roizen. Last month on Oprah, the docs introduced their 90-Day Live Longer, Feel Younger Plan. Adhere to these three lifestyle changes and you'll see and feel results fast.


1. Do yoga and lift weights: your heart, blood pressure, strength and flexibility will thank you.


2. Walk 30 minutes every day: rain or shine.


3. Diet: adopt the attitude "food is medicine" -- skip these eleven Hall of Shame foods


Now here's a test. Dr. Oz says a 30-year-old woman should be able to nail 45 bent-leg push-ups, while a man the same age should be capable of 35 standard push-ups. Take away five push-ups for every decade thereafter. Hold on, let me take the test. My face is red and hands are shaking, but I passed ... barely. Any takers?

Haven't done the pushup test yet but did watch the show today and enjoyed it. I noticed that Oprah told Bob Greene that she knows what to do just doesn't like doing it.He said that when she was at her lowest weight she was doing shorter workouts but

I've never seen him, because I don't watch daytime TV. I saw about the push-ups on AOL and thought it was interesting.
