exercise_detail.description
Kneeling Ring Push Ups are a bodyweight exercise that targets the chest, triceps, and shoulders. This variation uses gymnastic rings to increase instability, engaging core muscles for stabilization. Performing the exercise on your knees reduces the load, making it suitable for beginners or those focusing on form and control.
exercise_detail.how_to_perform
- Adjust the rings so they hang just above the floor.
- Kneel on a mat with your knees hip-width apart.
- Grip the rings firmly with palms facing each other.
- Lean forward slightly, keeping a straight line from shoulders to knees.
- Lower your chest towards the rings by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your body.
- Pause briefly at the bottom of the movement.
- Push through your palms to extend your arms and return to the starting position.

- Ensure the rings are stable and securely fastened before starting.
- Focus on maintaining a straight line from shoulders to knees throughout the movement.
- Engage your core to prevent sagging or arching of the lower back.
- Keep your elbows close to your body to maximize tricep engagement.
- Control the movement speed, especially when lowering yourself, to increase muscle activation.
- Breathe in as you lower yourself and exhale as you push back up.
