I’m having trouble doing push ups correctly.  Can you recommend any particular exercises to increase wrist and tricep strength.

MizFit, do you have a workout partner? if not why not? I dont (none of my friends work out when I do) & dont really want a partner—but I need motivation. I dont have a partner. And I have to admit that I have more than a fleeting jealousy of this blogger and her workout [...]
