Knee push-up
A floor push-up with the knees supported.
How to do it
- Place hands a little wider than your shoulders and rest knees on padding.
- Maintain a straight line from knees to head as you bend your elbows.
- Press the floor away and return with control.
Form check
Keep elbows at a comfortable diagonal rather than flaring wide.
Make it easier
Use an incline push-up instead.
Move within a comfortable range and keep breathing. Stop if a movement causes pain or you feel unwell. Ask a qualified trainer for help with unfamiliar equipment.
