I know this is nothing new. But for anyone not knowing and starting to exercise this is a good way to start doing push ups.

Starting higher up the stairs will make it easier. Then work your way down the stairs once you feel like you are ready to progress.

You can also use a work bench, table, railing, back of a couch, etc. l

Then - put your toes on the first step.

Then, toes on the second step…

After you have been doing the other way for a while. I am talking about starting slow from scratch. Which is a long way from your hands on the floor and your feet up on the stairs.
But hey, got to start somewhere.

There are also wall pushups. I have seen that used while in physical therapy.

Stair pushups are great. You can knock out 10 - 25 every time you take the stairs. Nice little exercise especially if you have sore shoulders from sleeping on your side.

Stair/knee/wall push-ups aren't just for beginners. Even those that can do standard push-ups (or even elevated pushups) can incorporate those into their workout.

Something like:

Standard pushups to failure
Knee pushups to failure
Stair or wall pushups to failure

Rest and repeat X number of times.

Just because you can't do another standard pushup doesn't mean your pushup set has to be over.

When you start talking about "sets" and "reps," you've lost me.

No steps in our house. I use the dresser in the bedroom, basically puts me on a 45° angle. Worked great until I tore my bicep tendon at the shoulder.
