How do I do my first push-up?

Build it in steps. Start with push-ups against a wall or counter, then move to a lower surface like a sturdy table or stairs, then to the floor with slow lowering only. Do three sets of a manageable number, and lower the incline when it feels easy.

Keep your body in one line from head to heels and your ribs down. Most people get their first full push-up within a few weeks to a few months of regular practice.
