    Expert Answer
    One-armed pushups work your front shoulder muscles, your chest muscles, your triceps, and your core.

    I have no legs and a single arm. What are my options?
    Community Answer
    It is actually easier to do one handed push ups without legs because you have less weight. You can have someone assist you for the assisted push ups to support your missing leg. Anything is possible!

    My one arm is broken. Should I try this?
    Community Answer
    No. Don't try doing push ups if your arm's not well. Even if you don't use it directly, you could still hurt yourself further.

    How can I get taller faster?
    Community Answer
    Try sleeping in a straight position and stretch your arms and legs while you are asleep. Also, try exercising and doing sports. Keep in mind these tips will only help if you are still growing; usually, height stops growing once you have passed puberty.
