Primary: Chest, Shoulder, Arms, Abdominals (pectoralis, deltoideus, trizeps brachii, abdomini)
Secondary: Back (erector spinae)
This exercise is a great way to prepare the body for more strenuous push-up exercises. The depositing of the legs reduces the tension on abdominals and back muscles. The exercise is performed in single-handle mode.
The following figures illustrate the exercise Push-up, on the Knees, One hand in Loop:

Movement 1 The elbow joints are bent simultaneously. The elbow close to the VarioSling is flexed so far that the other elbow is flexed approximately 90 degrees. |

Hint: If you have mastered the movement perfectly try to perfom this exercises in the normal push-up position. The more you flex your elbows the more intensive the exercise. |
