Push-ups are a great form of exercise. Figure out how many you need to do and stick to it until it feels to easy.
A good variant for beginning exercisers is the so-called "women's push-up". This uses the knees as the point of leverage instead of the feet.
One-handed push-ups are also good. The hand should be placed dead-center of your chest, and you still want to fully extend but go to a right angle formed by the upper and lower arm.
Increasing the elevation of the feet also works. Think in terms of foot-lengths, and increase as needed for a comfortable burn. Try to avoid going more than half your height.
If you have a child, feel free to add his or her weight to the routine. It can be fun for both sides, as well as provide a bonding experience.
