Question 1

how do i do push ups correctly?

Accepted Answer

See Video: I would refer to this youtube video.  The only point i would add is that if you have any shoulder problems, i would only bring your elbows just shy of 90 degrees to the floor.     http://youtu.be/uwofk_u1i30.

Question 2

how can i do a handstand push up?

Accepted Answer

Handstand pushups: That is a great question. Start with v pushups, or pushups with your butt in the air and your weight over your shoulders. You can also do this with your legs up on a chair or stairs, and your hands lower than you.  You can eventually tripod against the wall and then progress to kicking your legs up against the wall.  Google handstand pushup progression and you will get  a flood of crossfit coaches showing you.

Question 8

how can i make push ups more difficult?

Accepted Answer

'Perfect' push-up : You could just widen your arms( working more chest and less triceps) and do more reps at each workout... You could purchase ( 2)'perfect push-up ' discs ( inexpensive )which you 'turn out' and 'turn in' as you repeat each standard push-up . I have these and they really do work. Best of Luck!

Not usually: Exercising is good for your health. An exception to this rule would be if you were deconditioned to the point that excessive exercising caused you become injured.

Question 10

what is an alternative workout to pushups?

Painful?: Is your question because of pain or difficulty with the excercise?  Push-ups can be quit painful for patients with early arthritis of the shoulder, or if there is a possible labrum tear.  Otherwise, push-ups against a wall, resistance stretch band exercises,  or even pull-ups may be beneficail.
