On my exercise profile, it lists push ups 3 days a week. Unfortunately, I can't do push ups at all, no matter how hard I try. Is there an alternate exercise that will have the same effect as a push up? Thanks!

Start with your knees on the ground :) Or try to have your legs lower than your arms

With the time it'll become easier and easier

do any variation of presses or flyes instead...
