Just keep practicing, Add in some regular push ups to your daily exercise so that you are able to start doing push up jacks later:

Move Fit Test 1
Switch Kicks 32 (64 total but you count it as 2 kicks=1 count )
Power Jacks 40
Power Knees 60
Power Jumps 20
Globe Jumps 4
Suicide Jumps 10
Push-Up Jacks 14
Low Plank Oblique 43

I was only able to do 1 and then in the first workout DVD I struggled a lot with the exercises that incorporated push-ups. Like the others said, this is day 1, we will improve

I picked up a really good tip from a guy on here (or one of my Insanity groups) Instead of focusing on the amount of time and the speed, do counts. So for example I did the Pure Cardio workout the other day and counted my Jumping jacks until I started to feel it (20). I did the same with the full round of different exercises we did then when he cycled around back to the jumping Jacks I tried for between 20-22. Adding 1-2 more each cycle. It helped me stay at my pace, and not kill myself, but I was still sweating up a storm and burned 650 calories. I was actually able to make it through the full DVD this way.

I am in my second round and I do this every workout. For every movement, I know how many reps I did the last time I performed that workout - I challenge myself to meet or surpass that number in each of the 3 rounds. It's a great way to be sure you're challenging yourself and it certainly feels good to note improvement from week to week!
