The Close-Grip Push-Up (On Knees) exercise is a variation of the traditional push-up that targets the triceps and chest muscles.
How to perform
To perform the Close-Grip Push-Up (On Knees) exercise, follow these steps:1. Start by kneeling on the floor with your hands placed close together directly under your shoulders.
2. Keep your back straight and engage your core muscles to support your body.
3. Lower your chest towards the floor by bending your elbows, making sure to keep them close to your sides.
4. Once your chest comes close to the floor, push yourself back up to the starting position by extending your arms.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions. Be sure to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
To make this exercise easier, you can perform it on your knees instead of your toes. This will reduce the amount of body weight you are lifting and make the exercise more accessible for beginners or those with limited strength.
