Hi, I know it's late but your wrists might hurt because they aren't strong enough to hold your weight in that position: joints often strengthen more slowly than muscles as the tissues are less vascular. Try looking up and doing some wrist strengthening exercises ^-^ Hope this helps. Edit: as a short term alternative, if it is just wrist pain, try doing them on your fists/knuckles. It straightens your wrist out so it doesn't have as much strain on it.

@@neverquiteeden thank you for the advice :)

@@GetExerciseConfident that's great hear thank you so much! I love all of the proper form videos so much! I've been creating a workout routine for my friend who isn't experienced with working out. I wanted to make sure she did the exercises properly and I was able to link your video for her to watch and practice the exercise I listed. Super helpful! 😊

@@kylaboutin7638 that's amazing to hear! Hope you and your friend's training goes well and make sure you keep us updated how it goes!

Well done and keep up the great work Salubrious!

Get Exercise Confident, ill post a before picture on my youtube soon and a after after one year of excercising and healthy eating.

Hi Valquiria, so pleased to hear this video has helped with your technique. Yes that's absolutely fine - it is normal for your elbows to rotate outwards slightly as you press up - it is just important to make sure that they don't flare out too much. Hope that helps and keep us updated with your progress!

So pleased to hear Clark :)

This will help gain chest muscle as well as strength. So pleased to hear it has been helping 💪

Thanks for the great feedback Mat!

Hi Kelly, the best thing to do is listen to your body. So you could try the exercise, but if it is sore we would recommend stopping. Also it is really important to focus on the technique (particularly keeping the chest 'puffed out'), as this will help protect the shoulder. Another really good exercise to do is the bent over row, as it will help pull your shoulders back, which can help with rotator cuff issues: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gJd2qNibrdiycYk.html Let us know how you get on!

Thanks for the great feedback Miss Dalling. How many kneeling push ups can you do at the moment?

@@GetExerciseConfident i am having a hard time to go down and come back up. I can only do 1 but i need 20. please reply asap

@@daina3542 you cand just go down and hold it for as much as you can and eventually you'll be able to do more

Hi anonymous - great question. What we would recommend doing is: 1) doing the exercise where you just do the downwards movement, then get on all fours to get yourself back up. Focus on a controlled downwards movement for at least 3 seconds. 2) try doing mini movements - where you only go part of the way down and then back up. as you get stronger increase how far you go down until you can do a full one. By doing this you will build your strength up, whilst keeping perfect form. Let us know how you get on!

Hi Yuan, what you can instead is: 1) Only go 1/3 of the way down keeping good technique, then push up. 2) Do this 2-3 x week, doing as many reps with perfect form. 3) When you get to 10 reps, try going half way down instead. 4) Repeat stage (2) & (3) gradually going lower down until you can do a full kneeling push up. Let us know how you get on!

Hi Abdullah, you want to have rest days to allow your muscles time to recover, so we would recommend doing this exercise three times a week (with a rest day in between each session). In terms of sets we would recommend starting out on three sets (with two minutes between each set). And then for reps try doing two less than the maximum number you can do (making sure you keep perfect form). Let us know how you get on!

Hi Javeria - the hips should be just off the ground (they shouldn't actually touch the ground).

Hi thejintymyster - we are so pleased to hear this has helped with your starting position. When you say your body makes contact with the ground, which bit of your body touches the ground?

@@GetExerciseConfident my stomach

@@thejintymyster6396 this might be because you are losing that straight line between your shoulder and knees whilst you go down. Try videoing yourself, and if this is the case then focus on: 1) bringing the belly button in towards the spine. 2) moving your hips backwards slightly. Let us know how you get on and if this helps.

@@GetExerciseConfident That is the problem. I am not staying in a straight line. I need to strengthen my core more. Thank you very much for your help

@@thejintymyster6396 glad we have identified the issue. We have a couple of great core exercises which will help with this: (1) Dead bug (best one to start with): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLOUobajq9jPo2Q.html (2) Plank (do this as your core gets stronger): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bLKhpMhz2azSaYE.html Let us know how you get on!

Hi Lance - you are spot on - this is a great exercise to build up the strength of your chest and triceps, and over time you will get strong enough to do the full push up. Keep us updated with how your progression goes! Also I have put the link to the technique for the full push up below for when you are ready: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtujYLiryMDbeGw.html

@@GetExerciseConfident thank you so much for replying, I'll check out that video. And yes, I'll keep you updated on my progress.

@@lancem779 how's the progression

Hi Jishnu, so: 1) Knee problem - Try putting some soft cushioning under your knees (like a towel folded over). 2) The waist touching the ground first - This means that you need to activate and strengthen your core more. - You can activate is by focusing on bringing your belly button in towards your spine and by squeezing your glutes. - To make it easier you can just do the downwards part of the exercise. As you get stronger you can add the upwards phase back in. - Try doing more core exercises to strengthen your core: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bLKhpMhz2azSaYE.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qKmoeZWfrJ_agWQ.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pM52rNF00L_YdGg.html Let us know how you get on!

Hi Ronan - the answer is you can do either (it does not make much difference to how much the muscles are worked). We often find that the version in our video is easier to get started on - (as lifting the legs up requires more co-ordination). So we would recommend going with whichever variation of the exercise you find most comfortable.

Hi Fekadu, the best way to think about this is to discuss what happen if your arms are not in line with the shoulders: 1) if your hands are closer to your belly button this can put excess strain on your wrists and can cause rounding of the upper back. 2) if your hands are too far away from your body, then this can cause put excess strain on your shoulders and elbows. This is also a harder position to hold and therefore can lead to poor technique. Hope that makes sense and let us know if you have any more questions!

Thank you bro

Hope the adjustments you have made have helped!

use pillows like I do. I also have my feet stuck to the wall so pillows dont slide

@@jankowalski734 Good advice thanks mate

No it shouldn’t hurt your knees. What type of floor are you doing it on? Try putting some soft padding under your knees, as this should help. Let us know how you get on!

@@GetExerciseConfident im doing it on wood floor. Maybe cus im overweight thats why its hurting my knees. I have already ordered a mat online so hopefully it will lessen the pain. Thanks!

Hi Jasraj - great attention to detail! If they are just a little bit ahead then that is fine. Hope that helps :)

@@GetExerciseConfident Got it! thanks :)

Hi Badshah, so in answer to your questions: 1) How to keep the elbows in? When you do the kneeling push up, can you get someone to stand above you, and put their hands either side of your arms. That way you will know as soon as your elbows come out. Also, only go as low as you can keep your elbows in. As soon as they flare out - don't go any lower. Then as you gradually get more control, you will be able to get lower, with your elbow tucked in. 2) You might not be able to do a full push up because the above issue. Try working on the exercise we have suggested above, and this should help. In addition, we have a brand new video coming out soon, called Tricep Dips. This exercise will help strengthen your triceps, which will help with the push up. Let us know how you get on and keep up the good work!

@@GetExerciseConfident thanks for replying dude. i literally fixed my posture in a minute after your reply. Now i can do less knee pushups but you know quality>quantity

@@mohammadsulaiman3261 so pleased to hear! And you are spot on, the focus should always be on quality. And as you progress the numbers will go up 💪. Let us know how you get on in the future!

@@GetExerciseConfident Now i can do 5 proper pushups without knee support

Badshah Hussain SYED that’s awesome! Keep up the great work 💪

It will strengthen and build you chest muscles which will improve the appearance of your chest. But it won’t help lose weight by itself - you will need cardio and diet for this 💪

Thank you

You'll get there Bella - keep trying!

@@GetExerciseConfident I did it. The video helped. Thanks. 😊😊😊

Keep practising and you will get there la.paltova 💪! How many can you do so far?

LOL same here girl

That's more than enough for u

I can do 20

7

The more you practise, the better you get :)

I can do a 60 fuck you noobs haha

You are spot on schimino7264 - you want to keep the elbows close to the body during the downwards and upwards movement.

Think you're ready for the full push up then Eric! How many of these can you do? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rtujYLiryMDbeGw.html

Keep practicing and you will get there Clutch. Which bit are you finding difficult?

@@GetExerciseConfident Hahha i don’t know I can’t do it because I’m chubby so my goal is to loose weight and then I start practicing that
