Kneeling Push-Up
How to Do:
Setup: Begin on all fours with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and your knees on the ground. Your feet should be crossed behind you or resting flat.
Body Position: Keep your body straight from your knees to your head by engaging your core and glutes. Avoid arching your back or letting your hips sag.
Lower Down: Bend your elbows to lower your chest toward the ground, keeping your elbows at a 45-degree angle from your torso. Inhale as you descend.
Push Back Up: Press through your palms to straighten your arms, lifting your body back to the starting position. Exhale as you push up.
Repetitions and Sets: Perform the desired number of repetitions with controlled motion, focusing on maintaining proper form.
Benefits:
The kneeling push-up is an excellent exercise for building upper body strength, particularly in the chest, shoulders, and triceps. It is ideal for beginners or those recovering from injuries as it reduces the load compared to a standard push-up, allowing for improved form and gradual strength progression.
