3 Ways to do Push ups for Older Adults: Arm Strength

[@EllieMae4101]

I’ve been working out my entire life. I’m in my sixties now. No one has ever said to bring the elbows out to a 45 degree angle. I always had my elbows closer to 90 degrees . What a huge difference! My shoulder was broken in 4 places when a truck hit me while is was riding my bike. Bringing the elbows in has greatly reduced the pain while performing a push up. Thank you so much!

You're welcome!

Thanks Ed, I’m 76 with a shoulder injury and meniscus tears, so I can’t do the floor push ups. To be honest I was never any good or comfortable doing floor push ups. I’m going to try the bench or wall push ups, I’m sure I can manage those. 😊

[@FrontRowwithEd]

I’m sure you can, Wendy!

[@pramujisinggihriyanto6901]

Thanks for motivating me to do push-up. I hate it because little right shoulder pain. I try from the simple one. No excuse for not doing push up. Thanks, Sir

Thanks!

[@danw.1667]

Thanks for posting this, still working on my core need to lose 10 lbs, how many reps if you're doing from the knees?

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Hey Danny, great question. I would shoot for a minimum of 2 sets, pause in the down position, and be mindful of your elbows so you don't end up with sore shoulders. Good luck and here's another video you may find helpful kzbin.info/www/bejne/oKK8n3mBjdOFnbM Take care

[@megr1968]

My question is - Will I get the same results if I use my elbows instead?

[@syedhusaini1566]

Good!!

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Thanks Syed!

[@mrpraveenyoutubechannel3665]

I have surgery on my hand and how can i do pushups please tell me sir

[@Teddyisoffline]

will these help tone chest would u say do this everyday on every second day

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Yes it will and you can do them 3-4 times per week.

[@carencurrybeauty]

I may have missed it, but how far back are my feet from wall push-ups and also counter pushups? Thank you

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Great question. You want to stand as far back as you need to so that 8-12 repetitions are challenging for you to do. Does this make sense?

[@rachelperry443]

Real good instruction just a bit long

[@cjstrom8135]

What does scapula in the back pocket mean?

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Hey CJ, take a look at this video for an explanation kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3nRiWiQfc6hgrM Let me know if it makes sense after watching it.

I guess I am screwed as I have bad wrists.

[@FrontRowwithEd]

Hello Donna, sorry to hear about your wrists. But maybe you can do the wall or counter version. Also, here are a couple of videos that may help your wrists kzbin.info/www/bejne/eorHp4GkmNmZrs0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmjWpoiMjt90mtk Good luck!

[@donnasaccento738]

@@FrontRowwithEd Thank you. I do them anyway even with my wrist pain but can only do 12 or so as i have osteoporosis and SI joint pain on my left side so my back hurts too.
