Exercise Description

The kneeling decline push up builds chest strength while being easier than regular push ups. Perfect for beginners who want to master push up form.

How To

1. Get on your knees and place hands on the floor shoulder-width apart 2. Walk your knees back until your body forms a straight line from knees to head 3. Lower your chest toward the floor by bending your elbows, keeping them at 45 degrees 4. Push through your palms to return to the starting position for your kneeling decline push up 5. Repeat the kneeling decline push up movement for your desired reps

Form Tips

• Keep your core tight throughout the entire kneeling decline push up movement • Lower yourself slowly and push up explosively for better muscle activation • Don't let your hips sag or pike up during the kneeling decline push up • Focus on squeezing your chest muscles at the top of each rep

Common Mistakes

• Letting your elbows flare out too wide instead of keeping them at 45 degrees • Not going low enough during the kneeling decline push up - your chest should almost touch the floor • Moving too fast and losing control of the movement
