Today will hurt, but your pecs/rack will look amazing if you do these exercises regularly. If you and pushups need reacquainting, start with wall pushups. If you have some upper body strength, graduate to modified pushups (“girl” pushups – knees on the ground), then full pushups.
1) Standard pushups (hands directly below shoulders) – do 10.
2) Wide pushups (start in standard pushup stance and walk hands out about 6″) – do 10.

If this was easy and time allows, repeat!
