3. Pushups – Do 5-10 wide (hands wider than shoulders), 5-10 standard (hands beneath shoulders) and 5-10 narrow (index fingers and thumbs touching). Try to do more than you did last time! If you know you can do 15, aim for 20 this time. If full pushups are too hard, modify by placing your knees on the ground, or do the pushups standing against a wall.
