Stop Doing Knee Push Ups - Do This Instead! Stop doing knee push ups as a way to modify and build up toward that first full push up from your toes. Instead start using incline push ups and eccentric variations to help you improve your upper body and core strength. These are great ways to learn the proper recruitment patterns so you can master that full push up position more quickly

I don't know what's wrong with me. I'm able to bench press quite heavy, to hold planks during a long time (even with feet on a bench and hands on the ground, but push ups are my kryptonite (maybe because I've one broken supra spinatus tendon )! BUT. with yoga, I finally suceeded to do the negative part of push ups, and, thanks to you Cori, I tried again and again and again and. now I can perform push ups with hands on the bench, and even triceps push ups on this incline- The bench is at my knee height. At this moment, I'm unable to perform push ups with hands on a lower support. I guess it will take time? ! I love your videos because you give us really helpful tips (and I always keep in mind that a push up is a moving plank, to keep my core engaged )

This actually works! I've never been able to do a push-up, and doing knee push-ups didn't help me at all. So I tried her techniques in this video (I started against the wall then just got lower and lower with my feet further out) and during a workout I had to do a full push-up as part of a set of reps, and I did a full one properly! I've never done that before. Thank you.

I like the advice. I've been doing knee push ups because a hernia I've never gotten fixed came back brutally about 9 months ago. I was doing regular push ups and it came back quick. I thought it was my abs at first, but realized when it was burning and bulging it was my inguinal hernia. Can this help me to offset that hernia over time gaining strength and muscle?

Thank you from Japan, 61 years old female doing your workouts. Had always struggle with push ups and first time I see a video that makes me like again push ups because all the variations you taught us ( I find great the push up, down to the floor, again push up pose-. Arigatou. 60 something people need any special recommendation for all your workouts videos?

This video is like a gift from gym gods. After trying lowering my body from plank position to the floor as you suggest to learn the muscles involved for push ups, I realized I was using all the wrong muscles in my previous attempts. I used to have pain in my shoulder and was shaking on the way down. THANK YOU!

knee push-ups wrk after doing normal set of push-ups. knee push-ups is called scaleing dwn. after doing normal set reps. inorder 2get a few more reps in. thats how they should be implied in a push-up regime. no different than doing pull-ups. then doing modified pull-ups/revervse push-ups. right after.

I can't do incline pushups. I tried doing them on my couch and I was too weak. I even tried with legs straddled. I can't do an eccentric pushup either. After 25% I just plop down. For reference, I can do 4 knee pushups to failure.

What if I have issues with my wrists? I am 75 lbs overweight and I have been trying beginner yoga. my wrists cannot handle my weight ---. How can I modify so i can add these to my routine? Btw, nice video! Very informative! -

I'm doing lots of knee pushups currently. I had surgery to repair an injury to the ball of one of my feet. So the incline pushups don't work for me either. But I may not be the target audience of this video.

This is great! I have tons of nerve and joint damage in my upper body, so pushups just never seem to be attainable. This might actually help me get there without re-injuring myself. Thank you!
