Push-Ups Knee variation

This is NOT a girl push-up. This is a variation of a push-up that is availble to someone that is building strength or an option when you feel as though you don't have a full tank foir a full push-up.
What if this hurts your wrists, shoulders, elbows, neck or low back? Most likely you're not activating the proper muscles since this exercise more than the arms. This is a full body exercise even from the knees. The upper back along with the arms is the muscle group that is contracting to lower you down; chest area are stabilizers on the lowering phase. You still activate the abdominals to a degree but not more than the upper back. The upper back or the peripheral core is supposed to be the stable platform upon which the arms move. So amke it the stable platform. You still activate or tense the legs.glutes as they are also apart of this move.
