The Kneeling Push-Up is a modification of the traditional push-up that can be a great option for beginners, those with limited upper body strength, or individuals who need to work on their form.
How to perform
Step by step instructions for the Kneeling Push-Up:1. Start by getting on your hands and knees on the ground, with your hands directly under your shoulders and your knees directly under your hips.
2. Engage your core muscles to keep your back straight and prevent your hips from sinking or lifting up.
3. Lower your chest towards the ground by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your body.
4. Keep your neck in a neutral position, looking towards the floor, to avoid straining your neck.
5. Push through your palms and straighten your arms to lift your chest back up to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, making sure to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
7. To increase the intensity of the exercise, you can gradually progress to a traditional push-up by starting on your toes instead of your knees.
Remember to listen to your body and modify the exercise as needed to ensure proper form and avoid injury.
