Doug Pruden of Canada has broken over 9 world records in push ups, and has 13 National records in push ups. Doug, who always wanted to be a world record holder, believes that setting high goals such as world records helps to also inspire and motivate young people he may talk to, to reach their dreams, stay healthy, and active. In his high school years Doug was more inclined to pursue general fitness than to be on team sports. Enjoying fitness, he pursued doing records in push ups. "Push ups can be done anyplace, at anytime almost, so there is little excuse to not do them and use it for fitness. Almost everyone knows how to do one, and you don't have to always be on a team to be fit" says Doug on why he does push ups.
