    Start off by doing pushups against the wall, or against a kitchen/bathroom counter (you're more upright and pushing much less weight). Work your way up to knee pushups, then eventually to full pushups.

    ^This. I started with the wall, and hit muscle failure after one set of 12. 18 months later, I can do feet elevated, hands on floor.

    Work up slowly, when you can do 3 sets of 10 (or somewhere about that) with perfect form, try your kitchen counter, then dining table, coffee table, etc. until you're on the floor.

    Thank goodness! I thought I was the only one! Wall and counter push ups begin tomorrow!

    Wall and counter tops FTW. I started here, not being able to do one pushup either, and now I can do 10 full proper pushups - you can do it!
