      Thanks nikedaddy and Joanne! yes, like ND said, girl pushups are on the knees. I wouldn't be able to do regular pushups properly, muscles are week. This is a way of keep doing them and gaining strength. Hope I can move up to doing part of them properly, once I gain more strength.

      Thanks Joanne! I've done this before, stopping completely because of my back, but all I gained from that were pounds! I need to lose weight and gain strength if I want to get back to running. I'm on a mission! :)
