On the knees

As you are most likely aware, in most of our classes, you get the option to perform your push ups "on the knees". Or, in another instance, pull ups may be performed with the assistance of a rubber band or with the aid of jumping off a box. There is no weakness in this. It is just a matter of scaling the movement so that it is accessible to anyone. Nobody ever defined how many push ups or pull ups you should be able to do. In our classes, we are not concerned with ego, but only with getting you more. If you want more push ups, you need to practice them. If you cannot do one, start on the knees - or start by pushing off a wall in the standing position to start with. Then, as you improve, make it progressively harder for you. If you can do 15 push ups on the floor in a row, put a weight plate on your back and start over. If you can 15 of those, do a handstand and learn a push up while doing a handstand against the wall. If that becomes easy, move away from the wall, and do a free standing handstand push up. If that is no challenge, perform the handstand on your fingertips. Granted, it will take some time, but no matter how proficient you are right now, the only way of getting there is getting started right now - on your knees if you have to...
