Knee push ups are a good progression exercise to work up into the standard push up. However, even if you can only do 5 standard push ups in a row, we advise you do those 5 until failure, rather than do 20 or 30 knee push ups. Knee push ups help develop the upper body strength necessary for push ups, while taking the abdominal hold out of the standard exercise. However, all the same rules as the standard push up apply.
