As a personal trainer, I equate inverted push-ups with handstand push-ups - hands on the floor, feet on the wall...verrry tough exercise. Not too tough. I do have one client (menopausal) who can do them. It took almost a year of hard work, and 65 pounds of lost body-fat, but she can do it. And chin-ups and run a mile in 6 1/2 minutes. Keep up the hard work. You really shocked me when I saw the inverted push-up exercise.

Keep up the hard work.

I remember reading about an Australian farmer that inspired the whole nation when he not only ran in the ultramarathon but win the race at 60. Truly inspiring.
