So….how do I learn how to do regular pushups, without killing myself? Because when I try to do them, it feels like I'm going to burst a vein my arm and neck….

First off, it is highly unlikely that you're going to burst a vein doing a pushup! The way to do it is to push yourself as far as you can go. This will really hurt, but it will definitely help you in the long run.

I never thought of that…push up…. :P
I always start up and go down and then of course back up again. If you put your hands farther out, it will make it easier. (Within reason….if you put them way out you won't be able to do it at all :P) Keeping them in close (like your hands lined up with your shoulders) makes it harder.

Start by doing them on your knees instead of your toes. Then work up to toes. I can do 20 pushups on my knees all at once, but definitely not on my toes.

My Dad calls those "girl push-ups".

@Courtney: Those are girl pushups. And I have tried working up from girl pushups to regular pushups but that doesn't work. You have to just do regular pushups and as you do them you'll be able to do more.
@Everett: I have!

Crunches are basically half a sit up. I don't do sit ups because I have read and heard that they are bad for your back.

I thought it was just bad if you had someone hold on to your feet. I think if your feet are allowed to come up off the ground you're okay…but I'm not really sure.
