The kneeling pushup is a bodyweight exercise targeting the pectorals, with secondary emphasis on the tricep and shoulders. It is performed from a kneeling position, making it a less challenging variation of the standard pushup, suitable for building foundational upper body strength.

How to Perform
1
Start by kneeling on the ground with your hands shoulder-width apart, fingers pointing forward.
2
Extend your legs behind you, resting on the balls of your feet, so that your body forms a straight line from head to heels.
3
Engage your core and lower your body towards the ground by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your sides.
4
Continue lowering until your chest is just above the ground, then push back up to the starting position by straightening your arms.
