Knee Push-Up
Also called: kneeling push-up, modified push-up
Coaching cues
- straight line from knees to head
- hands just wider than shoulders
- ribs down, glutes tight
- chest to the floor, not chin
Common mistakes
- breaking at the hips so only the chest drops
- hands too far forward
- leading with the head instead of the chest
Take care with: wrist. Members who list these injuries never see this exercise in a program.
Easier: Incline Push-Up
