Haha! "Split your push-ups into two sets of fifteen". Having not done any push ups since I was in my 40s, I'm having to start off with fifteen sets of two!

95 here. I do 100 a day. Been doing it since my army days in the ‘50’s. My SGT. said don’t ever stop. So I followed his orders. I’m the same weight as I was at 20.

I started with counter pushups in my kitchen. Next I went to the bathroom because that countertop was a few inches lower. After I got a little better at those, I moved my feet farther back. Now I can finally manage a few pushups with my knees on the floor. Every little bit of progress is wonderful!

I watch a lot of YouTube, and I have to get a big compliment to this creator for the well researched, well paced, and overall useful information to those watching from the real world. No overly dramatic sketchy promoted products, no fad diets or supplements, and no crazy graphics. Just down to earth, well delivered, easy to understand information from a certified source.

!0 Wide, 10 narrow, 10 standard. Mix up the hand positions to work the chest areas differently. Works great.

72 here. I've worked up to three or four sets of twelve push ups every day. I keep a beach towel on the floor of room where I nap or watch television as a reminder to do them. Actually, that towel is challenging me, goading me, to get myself onto the floor and do the damn reps. And doing the push ups has had the effect of encouraging me to do other exercises and be more careful about my diet. Watching my contemporaries decline physically is the other reminder for me.
