Title: Pushups I am having difficult starting a pushup routine. I can only do about ten, and then I have to rest for some time. Can anyone give me advise as to a beginning pushup program? Name: Joseph Date: Dec. 2nd, 1999 Title: Re: Pushups Try to do as many as you can at one go (8 or 10), this is one set, then take rest for sometime, say 30-45 secs, then do another set of as many repeatation as you can, rest again. try doing 5 such sets. Gradually try to increase 2 to 3 repeatations every set every 7 to 10 days. After you achieve 20 - 25 repeatations per set you can put some kind of weight on your back, close to your neck, to add resistence.

Name: Gautam Ganguli Date: Dec. 7th, 1999 Title: Re: Pushups Joseph, try either of the aforementioned routines and decide which is working for you. What worked best of all for me though was having people watching me while I was doing push ups. Try it, you can always do more than you think you can when you let pride take over. Over a few weeks you can get from zero to 50 in one rep - I did (I'm female) so you can. Name: Cass Date: Dec. 8th, 1999 Title: Oops!
