Knee Push-Ups

Chest Bodyweight

Description

Knee push-ups are a modified version of the traditional push-up exercise, performed with the knees resting on the ground rather than the toes. This variation reduces the amount of body weight being lifted, making the push-up movement more accessible for individuals who are new to strength training or those who may have limited upper body strength. Knee push-ups still effectively target the muscles of the chest, shoulders, and triceps, providing an effective way to build strength and progress towards performing full push-ups.

How To

01 Kneel down, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width
02 Brace your core, keep your back straight, knees on the floor
03 Lower your chest toward the ground, elbows tracking back
04 Push back up to full extension
05 Keep every rep slow and controlled
