Exercise log or rather, I have been a Lazy log...

I have been doing it here and there, push-ups. There's a lot you can do with push-ups.
Let's do a little research and see...
Found this from an article at yourbody.com

The Right Way to Do Pushups:

“Age and gender shouldn’t be an issue when doing pushups since you’re only pushing up your body weight. Strength or lack of it is usually an issue. It’s lack of strength due to lack of proper repetition. You must work to get stronger,” says Schuman, who offers the following tips:

• Elbows must be fully extended at the start and end of a pushup, forefoot or toes on floor; legs, hips and back straight. (I sit on my knees... for now.)
  
• Commonly, people don’t make a deep enough descent. Your chest should be slightly lower than parallel to the level of your arms
• To test your form, have someone make an upright fist and position it below your chest. Your chest should make contact with the fist.
  
• Avoid half-pushups, a common error caused by fatigue. (No, I do it to exhaustion... )
  
• Inadequate reps are usually due to a lack of strength endurance, which can be built up over time by executing pushups properly and doing multiple upper body exercises to increase strength.

Variations on the classic pushup — which should only be performed under expert supervision—include: (expert supervision? Who is gonna come to my house at 6 in the morning?)

• In-close pushups – Bring your hands in closer proximity to one another.
• Clap pushups — Push off the ground plyometrically, high enough to clap and put your hands back in the start position — to build explosive strength. (ok, I admit it, Jack Palance I'm not.)
  
• Fingertip pushups — Position yourself on the tips of your fingers, which increases all-round difficulty. (Ummm can we say arthritis?)
  
• Prison pushups — Using a deck of cards, do the number of pushups that corresponds to the number on the card. Face cards equal 10 pushups; an ace entitles you to a one-minute break. Go until you finish the deck. It’s an amazing, but extremely challenging workout. (If it's good enough for Paris Hilton...)
  
• To increase the intensity of pushups, add weights, which are placed on the middle of your back. You can use a backpack, a sandbag, a free weight or wear a weighted vest. (... or any number of cats will do)
  

“Athletic performance can be enhanced by the improved strength that comes from doing pushups, especially for youth athletes where overall developmental strength is important,” says Schuman. “Adult athletes can benefit from pushups through strength endurance, which allows the athlete to perform activities for a longer period of time.”

Here is how I do them.
I vary the width of my hands. I start with them wide and do two sets of twenty or as many as I can. (I do force myself though to do them because when the muscles fatigue, then they will strengthen.)
Then I bring my hands in closer together and then closer again until they are touching each other. You can also move them up a bit above your shoulders and lower under your stomach.
