Perfecting the Push Up With Casey

coaches club perfecting your push up push up

If you’ve ever told yourself, “I should be able to do a push-up by now,” you’re not alone – and you’re definitely not too late.

Coaches Club member Casey Schack had the same goal. As a physical therapist, mom of three, and busy professional, she knew the research. She knew what needed to happen. But knowing and doing are two different things.

So she made a plan. She followed a progressive strength program. She started with incline push-ups, stayed consistent, and played the long game. Six months later, she got it – her first full push-up from the floor. And then more after that.

In this conversation, Casey and I break down exactly what worked:

How she structured her strength training
Why rest and recovery were essential
The importance of staying consistent – not perfect
And how this journey impacted her daughters, her clients, and herself

Watch the video to hear her full story—and check out her Instagram post where she shares the how she did it.

This isn’t just about push-ups. It’s about proving to yourself that you can still get stronger . . . at any age . . . in any season. And it’s about becoming the example for your clients, your kids, and yourself.
