Knee Push Ups

A beginner-friendly push-up variation performed from the knees, reducing bodyweight load while building chest and triceps strength.

How to do it

1. Start in a push-up position with your knees on the floor.
2. Place your hands shoulder-width apart on the ground.
3. Keep your body in a straight line from knees to shoulders.
4. Lower your chest toward the floor by bending your elbows.
5. Press through your hands to return to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps.

Tips

• Squeeze your glutes to keep your hips from sagging.
• Keep your elbows at roughly a 45-degree angle from your torso.
• Lower with control instead of dropping your chest quickly.
