I put a resistance band around my elbows and am doing pushups to the ground with this assistance. It keeps my elbows close to the body. I’ll try this for a while until I get stronger.

I do inverted rows. I set up two chairs with a bar over them. Then I lay down and pull myself up from the ground. I also hang from the pull-up bar. These alternatives are very challenging even if it’s not the real thing.

Girl, you'll killing it.

Steven Pottschmidt thanks

Aletta Armee I have resistance bands but I haven't been able to do that yet. I'm working on hanging and working on my back muscles. I'll be very proud of myself as I make progress.

I can’t do pull-ups. I’ve been doing strengthening exercises to build up to it. Maybe some day.

Just to follow up on my comment, sometimes it’s our feet and the shoes we wear that cause problems and injuries.

I have always had foot pain with very high arches. I had to stop jump rope in the beginning.. I saw a podiatrist and now with custom orthotics and bunion pads, I am jumping without issues. So sometimes getting the right adjustments make a big difference.
