from wiki

A press-up, also known as a push-up, is a common strength training exercise performed in a prone position, lying horizontal and face down, raising and lowering the body using the arms.

reply to 做俯卧撑

There are two words expressing 俯卧撑. One is press-up, Britiish English and the other is push-up, American English. So 做俯卧撑 is: do press-ups; do push-ups.

sit-up

i saw it in 60 Minutes, when John Daly was interviewed, he claimed that he hated practices, sit-up and running, so i believe sit-up is the right answer.

【本报讯】桃园县新屋乡80岁的黄金利，教育子女表现杰出，获选桃园县今年的模范父亲，他还健身有方，日前在表扬大会上，当场以两指伏地挺身20次，全场惊叹。
