>>62798 To start, do as many pushups as you can in one go. Record how many pushups you were able to do. This is your MAX.
You're a beginner, so let's say your MAX is five pushups. When you are ready to exercise, do four pushups, rest, then three pushups, then rest, then two pushups, then one. If your MAX is ten, during a routine start with eight pushups, then six, then four, then two. You want to spread out the numbers so that you are still strengthening your supporting muscles without over stressing them.
For food, you need to get on a stable diet to regulate your metabolism and increase your stamina. Most fitness junkies will recommend 6 small meals a day, but since you're a beginner and fairly slim, 4 might be better suited. So your meal plan should look like this:
Meal 1: Protein, carbohydrate. Meal 2: Protein, carbohydrate. Meal 3: Protein, vegetable. Meal 4: Protein, vegetable.
Your protein will be basic meats or eggs, your carbs should be rice or beans or bread, your vegies are up to you.
