For pushups, a friend of my mom went from not being able to do one to doing 30 because of a system her son (a physical trainer) set up.

He said to do 30 against the wall (which anyone should be able to do). From there go to a counter top, then a chair, then a lower stair, and eventually the floor. By changing the angle at which the pushup occurs, you’re either increasing or decreasing the resistance (obviously, the more vertical you are, the easier it is; the more horizontal, the more difficult). I think she said that within 2 months she could do 30 pushups.
