doing push ups

beatbanger Posts: 13 Joined: 2006/05/30	2006/05/30, 08:08 PM How often should i do push ups to see results? I've been doing push ups over my steps for about 4 months and i'm not seeing any results yet...I was doing the same pushups about 4 years ago for about (2 months i think) and i didnt see results until i stopped doing them for maybe 2 months or longer. Do i have to stop doing the push ups to see results again? I been doing them longer this time around and i'm not seeing any results....what i'm trying to do is tone my upper body....all help would be greatly appreciated.
