What does PUSHUP mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
An exercise in which a person lies face down and lifts the whole body on straightened arms, then lowers it again.
The pushup trains the chest, shoulders and the backs of the arms, and it needs no equipment at all, which is why it appears in school gym classes, army fitness tests and home workouts. A proper one keeps the back straight from head to heels while the chest goes down close to the floor. Counting how many a person can do in a minute is a common way to measure basic strength. British writers usually spell it as two words, push-up.
