Answer 1

Push ups will work wonderfully for this purpose. If it is hard for you to do this on the floor you can stand against a wall and push yourself away with your arms until you are strong enough to do it the normal way.

Answer 2

You can strengthen up your pecs(chest muscles) by doing the following Push-up super-set:

Place your palms on the floor and the hands should be at a distance slightly wider than your shoulder width and do 10 - 15 reps of normal push-ups. Make sure that you inhale while going down and exhale while pushing your body away from the floor. Do this workout slowly. The slower to do, the stronger and bigger you get.

Now, without rest, place your hands at a distance less than your shoulder width and do 10 more reps. This makes a super set.

Leave a gap of about a min and do this super-set again. Repeat this just one more time after the second set and cool down. Leave a gap of at least a day before you workout again and do this exercise thrice a week. Remember that your muscles grow only when you're resting!

You can intensify the workout by raising your lower body(by placing your feet on a 2 feet projection), and doing the push-ups.

I'm sure this will strenthen your shoulders and your triceps along with strenthening your chest. And you don't even have to lift weights!

Answer 3

You can strengthen the chest with push ups. it may sound boring, but a push up is a versatile exercise. The regular push-up, body straight on the floor going up and down, can be modified just by changing the width of the hands. The wider they are, the more you work the outer chest muscles, The closer they are, the more you work the inner chest and triceps. To work the upper chest keep your hands on the floor, but elevated your feet. Put them on a chair or a stacks of books, whatever. This will create an incline and this works the upper chest. The higher your feet, the more intense the exercise. I hope this helps.

Answer 4

sit ups are the absolute best, but to make them very effective you should make yourself a set of "handles" by cutting 2 10" lengths of an old wooden broom handle. then drill a matching hole in 4 blocks of wood and insert the dowels into the holes and glue and nail in place. hang on to these handles while doing your pushups( your knuckles should be about 1 or 2 inches off the floor), it gives you much more control over your movement and avoids strain to your wrists. you can vary the position of the handles to get a more varied workout.

Answer 5

push up doesn't require weights. its like an upside down bench press.

try doing them the normal way, then try putting your feet up on something (a stair or a chair), then try elevating your upper body by putting your hands on the stair or some books and your feet on the floor
