Why you should drop and give yourself 10 pushups

Knee pushups

You'll build stronger triceps, chest and core — anytime, anyplace.

1. Position yourself facedown on the mat, knees bent and arms straight, with your palms flat on the floor directly under your shoulders.
2. Rest your weight on your hands and knees.
3. Engage your core to push up.
4. Bend your elbows and lower your torso to a hover position just above the floor.
5. Use your arms to push yourself back up.
6. Keep your spine neutral and your hands directly under your shoulders.
7. Repeat 8 to 12 times for up to 3 sets.
