Does anyone have any good suggestions for chest exercises for beginners that don't use weights? I've looked online and anything tagged for "beginners" either requires weights (which I dont have) or is too hard for me to do at this point.
Thanks!

    Yep. And if you can't do regular push ups, start with your hands on a counter or step and progress from there.

    This reminded me that I have not done a push up in like 3 weeks. Dang. Push ups this week!

    Right? I just started a program that doesn't technically have push ups in it but I mean...I really should do some push ups. I'm sure it just assumes that you don't need to be told to do some push ups ha.

    I like to do them occasionally just to see how many I can do. A couple of years ago I couldn't even do one.

    Wow! Congrats. I used to be pretty weak at them as well.
