Kneeling Push-up

• Extend your legs behind you, keeping your knees on the mat and your feet up off the floor.
• Lower your body towards the floor by bending your elbows, keeping your body in a straight line from your head to your knees.
• Push your body back up by extending your arms, while ensuring your body maintains the straight line.
• Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to keep your core engaged throughout the exercise.

• Engage Your Core: It's crucial to keep your core engaged throughout the exercise. This helps maintain a straight line from your head to your knees, preventing your back from sagging or your butt from sticking up, which are common mistakes that can lead to back pain or reduce the effectiveness of the exercise.
• Proper Elbow Position: As you lower your body towards the floor, keep your elbows close to your body. This targets the triceps more effectively and reduces strain on the shoulder joints. Flaring the elbows out too wide is a common mistake that can lead to shoulder injuries.
• Controlled Movement: Lower yourself slowly and push back up in a controlled manner. Avoid rushing the movement

Yes, beginners can certainly do the Kneeling Push-up exercise. It's actually a great way to start building upper body strength, especially for those who find standard push-ups too challenging at first. The kneeling position reduces the amount of weight the person has to lift, making the exercise more manageable. It's important to maintain proper form, though, to prevent injury and ensure the exercise is effective.

• Wide Grip Kneeling Push-Up: In this variation, you place your hands wider than shoulder-width apart while performing the push-up on your knees.
• Close Grip Kneeling Push-Up: This variation involves placing your hands closer together, targeting your triceps more than the standard kneeling push-up.
• Kneeling Push-Up with a Twist: After each push-up, you rotate your torso and extend one arm towards the ceiling, alternating sides with each rep.
• Single Leg Kneeling Push-Up: This variation involves lifting one leg off the ground while performing the push-up, which challenges your balance and engages your core.
