Kneeling Leg Extension Push-Up

Setup

1. Begin in a quadruped position on a yoga mat with your hands directly under your shoulders and your knees directly under your hips.

2. Extend one leg straight back, keeping your toes pointed or dorsiflexed depending on comfort, and maintain a neutral spine.

Movement

1. Inhale as you lower your chest toward the ground by bending at the elbows, keeping your body in a straight line from your head to your extended foot.

2. Ensure your elbows track back at a 45-degree angle to your torso, not flared out to the sides.

3. Exhale as you push back up to the starting position, maintaining core engagement throughout the entire range of motion.

4. Keep the extended leg elevated to hip height throughout the movement to emphasize the glutes and core stabilization.

5. Complete the desired number of repetitions, then switch legs.
