I've found it's possible to modify all fours moves--no matter whose--by doing a deep lean against a wall mounted bar and doing the leg moves. You get a very good lower body and core workout, less of the upper body because you're not supporting your weight on your arms.
It would be possible to do this leaning against a wall if you don't have a bar. I find all fours moves very difficult due to arthritis in my wrists that limits my extension; even push up bars or dumbbells are very uncomfortable due to the pressure created in my wrists.

Thanks for all your suggestion, I started the mat workout 2 weeks ago and I was so impress with the result (especially my abs), also bought PT and PP1 and so far they are all doable except the all four moves but I will try to do them on a chair instead. Still debating if I should keep the META for $27

Glad you're enjoying Mat! I think it's one of her best workouts, and the music is so amazing
For variety, you could also try PDS2, which is mostly moves using the chair. It happens to be my favorite of the three. I think the arms are easier to follow in 2 than in 1 or 3. Also, I found this youtube channel with all 3 TAM bootcamp sequences extended to 40 reps or more. The bootcamp workouts are more varied than meta - you use the chair, do planks, do moves on your side, so it's not all fours stuff https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChW...L3SmhWcLjjcXRQ That's a great deal for meta! Why not keep it and give it a whirl later on? I did get injured when I tried meta for the first time, but I was able to do it for a long while after getting my core stronger
