Although, this might be better off in the Exercise and Fitness sub-forum.
I posted this in that other thread that mentioned push ups:

That's how I do mine. I spent nine years in the Navy and got to know a few SEALS. Amazing individuals. Not just for their bad-assery, but because they just seemed so well centered and balanced in a calm, quiet sort of way. Some of them were quite lean and slight of build... almost wiry and sinuous. Not the muscular commandos you might think of.
I'm up to 3 sets of 8 per day. Slow, methodical and with purpose - like the video. But, keep in mind... over the past seven years or so, I had become absurdly lethargic. It was a humiliating experience to realize, a few months ago when I started doing push ups, that I had to start out doing "girl" push ups... from my knees. I'm happy to say that I've since graduated from that.

Well, that's better than no push up.
So, congratulations! You have made progress.
Now... do 1/2 push up 3 times in one day.
