    If you can do wall push-ups, the idea of progression with those is that you continuously lower the angle until you eventually get to the floor.

    So maybe try a dresser or table next and work on that until they're easy, then find a lower piece of furniture after that like a bed or whatever, etc. (just make sure the furniture is sturdy so you don't hurt yourself !!!!)

    I'm currently doing push-ups using my bed frame, and one.of.those.days I will do a proper floor pushup, dangit!

    I'm rooting for you. :flowerforyou:

    Hi!

    Sorry it took me a while to get back to you.

    With regard to squats - this video shows how you can use a chair to do squats (no use of bands) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tboLNWXfLAE I realize that you have tried it, but paying attention to form may help.

    Also, if you can have a way to attached a rope or similar item to a secure place, you can use them to help stabilize you when doing squats. Similar to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ItR1vcQA5Qo


    If you can see if either of the above work for you.


    Re push up

    This is a great series where you can progress with push ups: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V1TpzUwokY&list=PL1F87E29E47EE1824

    Oh, and re what you look like with some of the exercises ...no-one looks graceful trying to wrap those bands around their feet. I know I do not :happy:
