Coach's Tips

If the basic push-up is still a bit too much for you, you can keep your knees on the ground.

How to Knee Push Up

Starting Position

1. Begin in a plank position on your hands and knees, with your hands directly below your shoulders.

2. Make sure your back is flat and your core is engaged.

3. Your feet should be together and your knees should be at a 90-degree angle.

Proper Form

1. Lower your body by bending your elbows and bringing your chest towards the floor.

2. Pause at the bottom of the movement and then press your body back up to the starting position.

3. Make sure to keep your core engaged and your back flat throughout the movement.

Breathing Technique

1. Exhale as you lower your body and inhale as you press back up to the starting position.

2. Make sure to keep your breathing steady and consistent throughout the movement.

Precautions

1. Make sure to keep your core engaged and your back flat throughout the movement.

2. Do not let your hips sag or your back arch during the movement.

3. If you feel any pain in your knees, stop the exercise and modify the movement or skip it altogether.
