Hi everyone, I stumbled across this beginner workout video the other day and was interested in giving it a try. The only problem is I have bad wrists so am unable to include push-ups in the workout. Basically, the amount of weight I would be putting on my wrists with a regular push-up would cause them to flare up quite badly.
I'm wondering if it's okay to do the push-ups on my forearms (like in a plank), rather than on a bent hand/wrist. To what extent would I receive the effects of a regular push-up? I've tried it and it feels a bit awkward, particularly in my shoulders, so I'm also concerned that I might injure something with this modification.
Possibly relevant info: Male, 23, 65kg/143lb, 181cm/5'11.
