Help for hurricane victims
Push-ups can do more than strengthen your body, as clients at Evolution Trainers did push-ups to raise over $30,000 for Hurricane Sandy victims.
The Mountain View health club held a push-up-a-thon in order to raise money for the victims of the recent storm.
Ashley Selman, owner of Evolution Trainers, said in an email that members of their team did over 11,000 push-ups in one day.
"What an incredible story of the huge heart of the Mountain View community coming together to help others in need all the way across the country," Selman wrote.
