Hi in answer to your question

press ups are one of the most common tests for upper body fitness that we do,but so many struggle with them!  To improve your press ups you must try an easier version, such as box press up. This will allow you to build arm and upper body strength, so you can develop full your press ups. There is also the wall press up which will still strengthen arms and chest, by standing against the wall in a diagonal (/) legs further away pushing on arms as normal. 

Try completing 10 press ups every other day, doing six full and the rest on your knees, doing three sets of 10 every other day. the reason its every other day is becasue you could be trying to do too much and over loading that muscle group.  aim to try and add one more full press up each week till you build up to 10 etc.  having a good core stabiliy is vital for press ups, possibly practice the plank which is a full press up on you elbows holding for 10 seconds.  yoiu should do three sets of 10 increasing you 10 second time up to a minute do these again every other day.  You could alternate the plank and press up every other day etc. 

Hope this helps Boris
