it works well for push ups, dips, and pull ups. Its actually a great purchase. I love it and within a few weeks I saw great results.

This mat does not technically have any sort of coating that I would consider "non-stick"; with that being said, I use it three times a week for yoga and I have never had any problems with it sliding around or moving while I am trying to use it. I don't see why you would have any problems using it for push ups.

My husband uses it when we bike with our daughter. It is never used to push. It works wonderfully when we bike with her.

Yes it is very easy to push and worked very well for me. Also light weight.

You can use it every day if you want but only for about ten minutes at a time. Also, you should vary your routine if you use it more than once a day. Routine referring to positions as standing, sitting, push ups or whatever exercise routine you do. If you use it more than once a day I would spread it out. I use mine in the morning when I get up and in the evening when I have time.

Yes it does work well. The burst is strong and I use the function often when pressing pieces when quilting.

There are pushups in chalean extreme workouts, but not in every workout. There are modifiers if you can't do them on your toes.

Really a different product. The 14 different positions really give a good workout. Perhaps the perfect pushup motion is more strenuous, but puts greater strain on joints (ie shoulders and elbows). I have both, but use thus product more often.

Hi Billy,I wear it for everything except playing tennis. I haven't tried pushups with it yet, but I have done light exercises with weights. This brace, according to the website, works best for OUTER wrist pain, not inner wrist pain. Check out their website; I know they encourage you to try several exercises to see if the brace will help. Good luck!Chris

So far so good. Easy on the joints. Do not look for lots of resistance you have to increase rpms to increase workload. I like to do intervals of faster pedaling with periods of relative rest. I use it almost every day and so far it is holding up OK. As with any of these cardio units based on air resistance the rpms are the key to adjusting workload to your individual needs. As with any of these machines some people will fit them just fine and others will never find that it fits them. It would be nice to be able to try it out first, but that is not always possible. For me it works. I use it both forward and at times I go backward so I am not always imposing the same forces on my knees. As I said it works for me, but may not satisfy a super cardio animal. Hope this helps a little. Nothing works unless you do it regularly.

Resistance can be adjysted. My husband used it for arm strength and it worked out just fine - he met the ot goals within the allotted time.

Yes it does. Works pretty well, in my opinion. It's not perfect, but you can still do the exercise.

Hi, no, Chalene does very minimal amount of push UPS about 3-8 per week so its not likely to put any undue pressure on your wrists. If you cant do push up at all, simply substitute for another exercise :)

Yes, the pot lifter works well for anything that's not top-heavy. Concrete step stones are not. When two people are lifting & transporting dense, compact objects whose center of gravity is below waist level--it works well. The only flaw we detected involved tall potted cactus that had a higher center of gravity. Without significantly longer handles tall loads get difficult to manage--because they tip (forward & back, side to side).

I used it twice in yoga classes and found it hard to maintain certain poses. In "downward facing dog", my hands were sliding toward the front of the mat. It left me feeling frustrated during the session, which is sort of the opposite of why I go. For push-ups, it might be OK because the pressure is more centered over your hands.

I would also like to tell people about the Fitness Trends "Ultimate Push Up" I picked up a set for just $10 at my local Big Lots! I havent personally compared its construction to the other models, but I am a former Soldier who weighs a bit over 200 pounds, and I havent noticed ANY problems with this devices structure or construction. It has a fairly solid grip with comfortable foaam covering a hard plastic? I am sure that the foam will start to peel off eventually, but for right now; I couldnt be happier for my $10.

It does work well, but requires a fair amount of pressure. I think it would depend more on the strength of your grip, than your wrists. You might need to use both hands to squeeze a fresh clove of garlic. Does cutting the cloves in half help? (they needn't be completely peeled.)
