5. As you push back up, drive one knee towards your elbow on the same side.
6. Repeat the push-up motion while switching legs in a running motion, driving the opposite knee towards the opposite elbow with each push-up.
7. Continue alternating the running motion while performing push-ups for the desired number of repetitions or time.
