How can I train myself to do push-ups?!
Question: How can I train myself to do push-ups!?
I'm a 21 y/o female, I'm not 'fat' or anything and I am fairly active but definitely could never do pull-ups on the bar when I was younger, and struggled with push-ups!. I don't want to do the lame 'girly' push-ups with my knees on the floor but I have a really hard time with it!. I have a large chest and I always thought once I was older that was my reason for sucking at doing push-ups!. I am working out using my body weight right now, sit-ups, lunges, running, etc!. Anyone have any suggestions or pointers!?

Start slow and work your way up!. If you can only do 5, then do 5!. Two days later, try 7 or 8, then 10!.
Try this:
Do 5 push ups, then switch off to squats or another exercise!. Then do 5 push ups again, then switch to another exercise!. Do this until you've done 25 push ups total!. Keep increasing the number of push ups each time (day) you exercise!.
The key is to have a routine and switch up the exercises so you don't tire one muscle group too much all at once!. Pretty soon, you'll be able to do 30 or more all at once!.
