AUGUST 2019 / MUSCLE & FITNESS 19

Begin in the press-up

position with your hands

directly underneath your

shoulders and elbows

locked out.

Make sure your back

is flat and your core

is tucked in.

Keeping your back flat,

bring your right knee up

towards your chest. As you

do this, make sure your

knee stays underneath

your body and doesn’t go

out to the side. You also

want to make sure that

your hips stay level during

this movement. When

doing this, ensure that

neither your knee or foot

touch the ground when

you drive it up. This will

engage your abs and

hip flexors.

Once your right knee

is up, return it back to

press-up position before

doing the same with your

left leg. A more advanced

version of this is doing

it in a running motion

where there is only one

foot on the floor at one

time. When doing this,

you are aiming to go as

fast as you can. Once

again, I go for 30 to

60 seconds of this.
