Whats the correct way to do knee push ups??


Question: I can't do regular push ups yet.

thanks

Girl push ups
Answers: Get into the position for regular push-ups and simply lower your knees to the ground. Keep your legs extended behind you. Be sure your arms are shoulder width apart. Bend your arms at the elbows and lower your shoulders level with the floor. Do a few of these at a time (10-15), rest, and repeat several times. When you are able to do regular push-ups, do the same thing - do 10, rest, and repeat.
The further your knee's are the better. Go with what can do then you can move them later on when you get stronger.
i think you're supposed to get on your knees and have them act as a fulcrum with your feet off the ground. essentially, what you're doing is shortening the distance between your arms and what you're resting on (shortening the lever) so it requires less force to lift you. i don't know if i'm describing this right, but i hope you understand what i'm saying.
Push-ups on your knees instead of your toes.
Get onto all fours. Have your arms and knees about shoulder width apart, with your hands spread out on the floor. The further back your knees are, the harder it is. Then slowly lower yourself down, your chest should come down before your head. Go as far down as possible, before you are about to touch the floor and then bring yourself back up. Then repeat. After you have finished, staying on your knees, kneel righ down and reach forwards in front of you with your arms stretched out leaning forward onto the floor. HTH : )
Get on the floor on our hands and knees, move your upper body until your back creates a straight line from head to knee. Move your arms shoulder width apart, palms open flat on the floor, keep your knees together. Then keeping your head and neck aligned with your back lower your upper body until your elbows are at a 90 degree angle then push up but don't lock your elbows. Hope this helps. Good luck. :)
