you're supposed to keep your back straight, legs together, hands, Drop to the floor and where your hands land is your most comfortable position for them go down to either the floor if you want to hyperextend a better range of motion and flexibility or to that of a toiletpaper sized roll under your chest, One touch down to the roll and up, that's 1 count.

if you lay down on the floor in front of a 4-legged chair, so that your legs are in the seat of the chair (above your body of course) and hold the two legs of the chair closest to you (for support) you can do this exercise. you place your heels on the front edge of the chair, and then you place one ankle on the opposite knee (so that your leg is bent and the knee outward). then, in that position, you lift your butt into the air, using the remaining heel on the chair to push up. do 10 for each leg, then stretch and repeat three times, you will DEFINITELY notice it is doing something

Push ups can be accomplished with many variations. Weights are not always neccessary to acheive big muscle mass. \n\nTHe idea is to emulate the same position as you would doing a bench press. You can do push ups with your feet raised on a chair or stairs. Then position your hands past your shoulders, then closer, and closer. You can use the backs two chairs and and do dips to get a broader stretch of the pecs. You can put your hands on paint cans or other objects and extend your chest farther down to the ground. You can have someone place a heavier object on your back for added weight. Whatever you do, make sure you do the exercise to failure. This means do them until you can't do them. Most of all, concentrate on the pecs as you work them. Flex on your extertion. \n\nDo a search online for pectoral exercises.

dont kick it, push it up. move your foot up quickly then pull it back down and around, you'll get the hang of it. my biggest problem while learning it was catching soft enough on the way down, make sure you go pretty straight upwards.

Push ups, do regular push-ups, push-ups with fingers pointing out(hands together) and diamond pushups(shoulders are even with arms and body infront of you) bring hands to center of chest with index fingers and thumbs touching (remember to always keep back, shoulder and you butt aligned).  This works arms, shoulders and even pectorial muscles.  Man I can give you a good work out just e-mail me.

Alright here we go:\n\nTriceps:  \nTriceps pullovers (what I call them)-  Take the 10lb weight and hold it behind your head (kind of how you might pass a basket ball over your head).  Bring it over your head until the weight is paralell with the ground.  4 sets of 25 reps 3-4 days a week.  \n\nBackwards push-ups-  take two chairs and separate them your body length.  Put your hands on one and your feet on the other.  Lower yourself and then push yourself up.  4 sets of 25 each 3-4 days a week.\n\nClose push up- Do push ups with your hands very close together (but not touching).  5 sets of 10 push ups.\n\nThese are just the tricep exercises.  If you want to know other exercises for different muscles (biceps, chest, shoulders, calves, thighs, hamstrings, etc.), IM me on Yahoo! or on AIM (screenname= aeprep0091).    Hope to talk to you soon.

ok, assuming you're actually serious, it's an exercise\n\nlie down on the floor with your legs bent.  raise your chest to your knees with your hands interlocked behind your head.  you can also do them with your legs stright on the floor, or in other variations, but the first is most popular

It is harder for taller people to do push-ups cause your arms are longer than that of a short person. So the actual distance that you would have to push yourself up from the floor would be substancially higher.

place your feet so one foot is on the front part and the other on the back. You bend your knees and push off the back part, like jumping, and that's about it.

I think instead of doing crunches where you use your abs to pull yourself up, you should try lifting your lower body to reach the lower abs. \n\nThat is, try leg lifts, "bicycling" motions, and bringing your knees into your chest with each crunch. You can also try hanging from a bar and lifting your knees to your chest. Though, that KILLS me! Try it...you will feel it lower than you feel the crunches. \n\nAlso, you might try the "plank pose." You know, basically in the position you would use doing push-ups, though I do this on my elbows and toes. Just hold that pose and lift the middle of your body up and down until it feels like your lower abs are engaged. \n\nGood luck!

Put your arms up, lean forward, put your arms on the ground and push off the ground hard!  This should work.  Think hand  hand, foot foot, hand up, hand up.
