Pushups are my favorite exercise, but they've become hard on my wrists.

That's what I did, but the hundred a day were still too much. I'll probably get back into pushups soon and just take it easier than a hundred a day.

change the position of your fist? knuckles horizontal or vertical?

edit: or switch to pull ups?

I think more variation is a good idea. When the goal isn't specifically getting to 100, I can do some techniques that are more tiring, but easier on my wrists.
