Gym Exercise Card
Equipment
The Kneeling Cobra Push-Up is a bodyweight exercise targeting the chest and triceps, with additional support from the core and shoulders. It enhances upper body strength and stability, especially useful for beginners as it decreases the load on the lower back and wrists compared to full push-ups.
How to do it
- Start on your knees with hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- Lower your body by bending your elbows, keeping your back straight.
- Push back up to the starting position by extending your arms.
