how many push ups can you do?

Is it me, or is this the most impossible thing to do? It has always been extremely difficult for me to do a push up.... I could do five at first. And now I think I'm up to ten (that's if I really put in a lot of effort)...

Is that so sad????

I workout on a regular basis, so I can do about three sets of 12, or so.

Just keep it up they are great for your triceps and your chest.

Which style? I hear your pain because I feel like they are impossible. I am just starting to work out again and in the past, when I was working out, I remember doing more pushups than I am doing now. I am so out of shape!!

It seems like you're building your endurance. Just keep working at it!

On my knees I can do a lot, but if I do regular push-ups I can do at least 10 (I just tried it out because I had no idea )

Thanks!!!


I'm trying - I just added them to my routine because I really want to tone my arms and upper body . . . It does seem like I'm slowly able to build up more and more... Like the first week I could do 2 (HA - SAD), then the next week 5, now I'm on 10. I guess that little bit of progress alone is motivational.

I still feel so out of shape when I hear about other people doing so many! Oh well, like you guys said... motivational!

I can barely do a second one if I get through the first one!!!

they're the hardest things ever.

Push ups in my opinion are one of the hardest exercises to do properly. I can now do 3 sets of 15 on my toes, but I started out doing maybe one or two, but I really just kept at it.

It takes a lot of patience but you will get there.
