Qazi Touqeer does 100 push-ups in one go on Bigg Boss 20: ‘My warm-up’

Bigg Boss 20 contestant Qazi Touqeer has amazed audience members with an impressive display of physical fitness. On Instagram, he announced: "100 push-ups is my warm-up! Abhi toh I am just gearing up! Stay tuned for more." Dr Shreyas Kathrani, head of physiotherapy at Jaslok Hospital and Research Centre in Mumbai, explained that push-ups are an exercise that requires no gym equipment or gear.

He emphasized that push-ups build upper-body strength, strengthen the core, and improve shoulder stability for daily activities. However, it's important to focus on form rather than the quantity of repetitions. Dr Kathrani warned that improper form can lead to shoulder and lower back injuries. For beginners, he recommended starting with wall or incline push-ups and gradually progressing to full push-ups.

Dr Vajalla Shravani, a fitness and pilates expert, cautioned against prioritizing quantity over quality. She advised breaking push-ups into progressions, starting with wall or incline push-ups, then knee push-ups, before moving to full push-ups. Additionally, proper recovery is essential for building strength and avoiding injury, so structured training sessions with adequate rest days are recommended.
