PUSH-UP

Women seldom do enough body-weight lifting, if they do any at all. In theory, you should be able to lift your own body weight before you add weight to your exercise. But this theory isn't exactly true, because you can do many exercises to strengthen individual body parts before you attempt a body-weight lift. I've included both the standard push-up and some variations for those who can't yet do this body-weight exercise.
