push up endurance

[lulu68]

I use to be able to do 25 push ups, now I barely can do 10! How do I improve my endurance for push ups? Thanks!

Just keep doing them. Do as many as you can, rest, and then do a second and third set.
If you can currently do ten, next week try and do 11 or 12 and keep adding every week until you get to your goal.
Good luck!

Have you heard of the 100 Pushup Challenge? There's an iTunes app for it and there used to be a website. Just google it!

It is the best way that I know of to increase your numbers.

I have the same problem.

Thanks for the advice Tricia, and the Link Shana Banana.

Janie - you are welcome! How are you doing?

using a weighted vest can build endurance. once you stop using the vest, you should be able to do more pushups.
