A very difficult exercise indeed. If you can even do 5 minutes, then you are better than many people. We used to have to do these for 30 minutes in kung-fu practice, but that was many years ago for me. You can make this exercise a bit easier to start out by doing it with your back against the wall. I also like to do push-ups and I vary the hand position. I always do push-ups on my knuckles. Makes for a strong wrist which is useful for many things, including punching when necessary. Again, old martial arts training. A push-up variation I don't see many people do is to get your hands under your chest, as close together as possible. Again , I do these on my knuckles. This will work the triceps more than the shoulders. You can also make a triangle out of your thumb & index fingers and place your hands with the triangle a bit in front of your face on the floor. Then lower yourself and touch your nose inside the triangle. Another good triceps exercise. I also like to do a bit of self-massage. Take your opposite hand and massage all the muscles from your upper arm down to your wrist. Repeat on the other arm. It feels great and it helps avoid the dreaded carpal-tunnel syndrome.

I am doing everything possible with them while trying to squeeze another seconds :) But in general it looks like this http://www.doppiofuoco.com/Res/Posizioni/3Mabu2.jpg I am not sure about the hands.

I've never heard of this before, but it sounds hard. HORSE: Stand with your feet about three feet apart with your toes turned outward, knees bent over your feet as much as possible at a 90 degree angle. Put your hands on your thighs and keep your arms straight. Lean slightly forward and rest the weight of your torso on your hands. Breathe deeply and relax the pelvic floor muscles. Inhale and exhale while relaxing. Hold the position as long as you are comfortable. This is a good substitute exercise for the squat if the squat is too uncomfortable.

This is what many people need. Easy, simple, short plans to get them started daily. I like to do 25 pushups many times a day. Just when I stand up from the PC and go to do something I will make the pushup serie. I devote each day to different pushup styles. Wide, narrow position of hands. With feet on the bed or chair. And my favorite are hindu pushups. And I really recommend one perfect exercise for feet - horse stand. I like to play one song in my CD player. The song is 2:30 long and I started one month before and tried to hold the proper horse stand for the whole song. It was very hard, but now I am able to stand for 5 minutes without any problem and my muscles are nicely toned. Nice tips. This is what many people need.

I haven't tried them myself. I'll bet that would be a good thing to do here instead of the push-up, but it's not as universal and I wanted to keep it simple. It's also not something I've tried with any regularity, so I didn't want to tell other people to do it. I’ve read a lot about burpees and heard people say positive stuff about them.
