Benjamin Franklin once wrote, 'In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.' Two hundred years later, Ted Skup adds one additional certainty: push-ups. In Death, Taxes & Push-ups, Skup confesses his secret obsession with the exercise and how it transformed him into a 'lean, mean, pushing machine.' He contends that with fitness levels at an all-time low, fitness should be a national priority. He also shows that the most important element in becoming and staying fit is consistency, which is achieved through a fitness program that you can perform anytime or anyplace. You have an arsenal of exercise options at your disposal, and push-ups are the ultimate choice.

Skup also takes on the 35-billion-dollar fitness industry and explains why it is failing us, with its bogus claims, magic bullets, and quick fixes. Although the fitness industry may not want to hear it, push-ups are free no equipment, no gimmicks and totally portable. They work for busy executives as well as people with tight budgets. The definition of good health is a sense of well-being, and Death, Taxes & Push-ups will be your guide to reaching that goal.

" The Push-up Revolution "

Count me in! I've joined the Push-up Revolution. This author has proven to me that doing push-ups is just as effective as using 10 different health club machines. The only thing I can say about Ted Skup is he is not your ordinary Jack of all Trades, but a Master of One, The Push-up. I'm telling all my friends to stop spending there money on useless exercise equipment and just use the formulas in this book to increase muscle size and strength. Saving time and money is good as long as it works. This works. I recommend this book to everyone!

"Man vs. Machine"

I currently own both stationery and rotating push-up bars, but the problem is my palms and rotator cuffs are taking a beating. Both these types of bars are good for low repetitions anyway, and can't be used for anyone who really wants to build muscle definition. Death,Taxes & Push-ups is the answer to understanding how to get to a 1000 push-ups a day or higher. The author is a real motivator due to his own personal stories. When it comes down to "Man vs. Machine" man wins everytime! The traditional push-up is superior to anything else not to mention it's portability. I totally recommend this book to all serious "PUSHERS".

Good, Although Not What I Expected

Say this about Ted...he's single-minded. Anyone who can gladly receive Grape Nuts cereal as a Christmas present is a unique individual. And it's that mindset that allows him to focus his resources on a book about the simplest of exercises.

Having known Ted for about two years now and having shared long and elaborate tales with him (mostly fictional), I did not expect that he would ever be an author. And if he were, his writings would be on the kind of cheap paper that back in the 1940's and 1950's could be found in drugstores as pulp novels with lurid titles. Imagine my surprise to find him in Amazon, with a quasi-bestseller and doing the book-signing thing like a real writer would do.

Nonetheless, this is a fascinating look at what a man can do when he sets goals for himself. I've personally never seen Ted do even one pushup and up until now had never heard him refer to himself as "The Pusher". And having read the book, I don't feel compelled to do any myself. But I can tell you that he must be doing something right to look as good as he does at his age, and if it IS doing pushups, then he may have discovered a fountain of youth.

Still waiting for the Bobolesian translation of this one, though.
