Knee Push-Up

What it is

A push-up done with the knees on the floor, which reduces the load. It is the usual starting point for building toward full push-ups. Keep a straight line from knees to head.

Technique tips

• Hands slightly wider than shoulders
• Keep the hips in line with the body
• Lower the chest close to the floor
• Push back up to straight arms

How to track your progress

Log reps, and add the extra load if you wear a belt or a vest. Straddly counts your bodyweight in the estimated max, so added weight and extra reps both show up as progress, and new records are flagged during the session.
