Push-ups?

I guess this question applies to all the exercises. Do you try to do the same number as the girls on the DVD or same time? I can't keep pace with them (I'm in crap shape), especially on push-ups. Today, I counted the number they did, paused the DVD and did the same number at my own pace. I can't do this for all the exercises (a 20 min workout will turn into 40). Does anyone else count the reps?

    start on your knees and go as slow as you need to to maintain proper form. form is the most important thing. when i started level 1 my arms shook doing them on my knees. i think i could do about 4. lol. now i can do the regular ones with no problem. im on level 3 tho and ive been using some of her other dvds as well. its hard at first but it does get easier if you stick with it.

    I agree! The push ups and keeping up with the pace is tough, hang in there it does get easier

    Probably more important to keep up with the video than keep up with the reps, just to keep her 3-2-1 formula going. It should get easier. :)

    You could try elevated push ups too like off the counter or a coffee table so you build up your ability to do them from your toes.
