If you do pushups several times a week you might find yourself getting too strong to really benefit from the exercise, if you want you can find some household items and place on your back to add weight, or get some bands for extra resistance. For just a toned look this will be more than sufficient. However i would really suggest adding some sort of a pull exercise as well. While you might not care for that, its stupid to go without, not only does a toned chest stupid with a flappy back, but more importantly doing only push exercises will most likely give you what is called forward-posture which means basicly is a ugly posture to have naturally. Find something outdoors where you can do some pulls-ups, or lie below a table, grap the edges and pull your upper body up is some simple and great exercises to go along with push-ups.
