Knee Push Up Overhead Slide

Exercise Overview

This is an exercise regression of the Push Up exercise. This exercise is used to slowly progress to a full pushup. Start by putting your hands on the floor wider than shoulder distance apart. Place one hand on a slider disc or hand towel. Support the lower half of your body with your knees (be sure to use padded flooring to decrease pressure on the knees). Hold a neutral spine and slowly lower the body while simultaneously sliding one hand overhead. Generally your non-sliding hand should be at your nipple line at the bottom of the movement. Push up while pulling the arm back in and keeping the core braced.
