Tips:
- Can’t perform an exercise safely? Chose another exercise instead.
- Make modifications if you need to. One modified pushup on your knees is better than no pushups. It’s also ok to keep a slower pace if you are a beginner and then build up to doing more over the course of the month. Do what works best for you.
