$500 prizes went to one male and one female winner at Mark Langowski’s May 12 pushup-and-plank competition in Washington Square Park, where the trainer used the event to promote everyday fitness.
111 pushups by one participant highlighted the challenge, which Langowski said offers a simple baseline for strength alongside planks, pull-ups, squats and mile runs.
Langowski told beginners to start with modified pushups—on knees or against a wall—then build gradually, stressing that consistent progression matters more than immediate performance.
Nearly 2 million Instagram followers give the @bodybymark influencer a broad platform for that message, which he paired with advice on rest, protein, healthy eating and even simple walks without a gym membership.
