How to do kneeling push-ups correctly

Push-ups are recognized as a good exercise for strengthening the body, burning fat and losing weight. Push-ups are suitable for both men and women. Men can build muscles through push-ups, making them look more manly. Women can do push-ups to eliminate excess fat and reshape their bodies. In particular, kneeling push-ups require the mobilization of all parts of the athlete's body, which is more helpful for weight loss. So how should you spread your arms and legs for a correct kneeling push-up?

Benefits of doing kneeling push-ups

1. Body shaping

Push-ups mainly exercise the triceps, abdominal muscles, back muscles, pectoralis major and other muscle groups. Doing push-ups regularly can expand the shoulders, strengthen the arms, lower abdomen, and chest muscles, making the body more symmetrical and upright.

2. Prevent aging

Natural aging causes nerve and muscle degeneration. Exercise can thicken muscle fibers, making the remaining muscles more effective.
