    Hello, all! This site was recommended by a friend to help me out and so far I like it a lot. Trying to lose about 30 to 35 lbs and to get ready for my fitness test. I struggle terribly with push ups. Any suggestions that may help?

      I do push ups on the stairs so you are not quite lifting your body weight....but you still have some resistance....then move to regular dreadful push ups!

      I do them on my knees! I can now do a LOT more than before, and could probably do real ones but I can go really deep on my knees and I think it makes me stronger. :)

      Trying doing them on your knees first so you can build up to doing them off your knees. Doing them on your knees helps out a ton & it makes you feel like you can tackle push ups a lot easier :smile:

      Why can't I get my ticker to show up? Can't get my badge on my home page either. :(

      Welcome!!

      Do them stood up against a fence or something similar to start with. Then work to doing them on your knees and then eventually you will master them! xxx
