Lift your body up only , a few inches, until your elbows are at right angles. Lower yourself back down again. Make sure not to lift your bottom high into the air! You're supposed to keep your body flat from your back down to your toes, like a plank or a board.
There are a lot of variations on push-ups. You can do knee push-ups, keeping your knees on the ground instead of lifting yourself with your toes. Some people do elevated push-ups. Put your legs up on a chair or a bed, and then do your push-ups that way. It really works your shoulders and arms more that way.
