Try doing a variety of pushups. Example: wide pushups (hands are 8-10 wider on each side), close grip (hands are almost touching under your chest), close and back positions (hands are along your body, but further back close to your waist becareful of wrist pain!!). You can elevate your feet, you can also buy a pair of push up bars (about $10 for a pair) that will greatly increase the range of motion. If you can't get push up bars, use a few books on each side. If you have a soccer ball, do a push up with the ball under one palm then switch sides. So many variations, so little time. Try changing them up to keep it fun. It is good if you do a set of regular, then wide, then close, then the soccer ball trick then elevate your feet.
To get maximum results you should work your entire body. One of the biggest mistakes people make is trying to "spot train". Your body can get out of alignment and cause certain muscles to pull in directions they are not meant to pull, because the opposing muscle are too weak to pull back.
Good luck, dont forget your lower body.
