Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
You can start off resting in your knees, rather than your feet. It takes off some weight, and makes it easier. You gotta start slow. Start with doing 5 knee based push ups, until you can do them good, then do the real ones. If you do many a day, in about a week you should be doing the real deal. Thats how I started my pushup ness.
Hope I helped!

Well, you can use weights to get the same effect, but the only real way to get better at pushups is to do them. Sorry.

just keep trying youll be able to do them after you keep doing them.
hope my advice helps.

ok i know pushups are hard, and ive just finished a freshman basketball camp so this works out. okay, in order to make them easier, do them on a wall. it may seem like they wont work but it does. step back further, and put your hands at eye height and a lil farther than shoulder width apart. and do 3 reps of 15. then to work your tricepts, do the same but move your hands in so they're 3 inches apart and go down and up for 3 reps of 15. and keep your elbows tucked in so that they actually work. this will definetly help your arms. and pushups also work your core (abs), so do crunches and body planks to work your abs. if you have questions just ask me them in my inbox. hope this all works out!

Before you try anything else have you tried "girl push-ups"? Just do 5 then do reps of somthing else then do 6 more, then do more reps of the other excercise then do 7 and so on until you can do 15 or 20 at once. When I first started cheerleading in 5th grade it worked for me!
If you can't do that though, you will need a bench and weights or a rowing machine. Go to Google and type in "pectoral exercises" and that will give you a list of sites that will show you what to do!
Work it girl!

Practice, all ways helps. When doing push-ups thy doing it with another friend (it makes it easier to have some one encouraging). Also listen to music while doing it also helps as well. When you do the actual push ups start off small but strong (that means do not do the weak & partial versions but the full stuff, even if you can’t do that many. One full one is better than 10 partial ones). Also set goals; like try doing 10 push ups in a week, the 20 the next week (or whatever works best 4 you).
And finely try using waits (same rules apply).
I hope this help (let me know if it does)

Well, practice push-ups. That's the only way you're going to get better at them. Practice makes perfect!!

Have you considered doing weights??? That helps a lot. Sometimes you just have to build up. Don't start at like 20 pushups. Set a lower goal like 5 or something. Every day do as many sets of 5 as you can. Eventually you'll get stronger and you can do more. Just take it slow cuz it's a long process.
