I take one day off from doing push-ups and all hell breaks loose in the market…
yeah your big toe is not injured get back on it.
I have decided to do the pushups every other day to keep the toe from hurting.
I can do the steps they do not hurt like the pushups do.
When my toes were hurting I was putting cushions under them (mostly pillows - but it also helped if I was wearing shoes to provide protection).
Accordingly, there might be some way that you might get support from your ankle and take the pressure (weight) off of your toes.. even though your angle is worse when you are doing your pushups upright rather than flat.. so it might be more difficult to find a solution to relieve you of your weight.
In doing pushups, you don't necessarily point your toes downwards or support the weight of your legs with your toes. You can practice bending the joint further down after your toes and keeping your toes on the ground, lying straight and having the whole weight of your body on your arms and wrists. The only place that should be subjected to pressure are your arms and wrists and it should probably help.
You could also go for soft, foam laced Snickers to decrease the pressure on your foot. Anyways you older folks deserve some accolades. It isn't easy to put up with such exercises with weaker bones.
