    I'm in. I've been doing them sporadically on my own, but I think this will help motivate me to do them on a regular basis. I can't do regular ones so I'm doing them on a yoga ball until I can do real ones.

    Some people find it easier on their wrists to use dumbbells to hold on to when they do push-ups. The dumbbells are kept parallel to the body with wrists and hands inline.

    Ignore the last step with the dumbbell row. I couldn't find anything without them, but the following shows the position of the modified push-up.

    ETA: Push-up bars may give you more range of motion or different hand positions to try.
