How to do the Push Up on Knees

4 steps, in the order you do them.

Place your knees and hands on the floor, with your hands slightly wider than your shoulders.
Keep a straight line from your knees to your head.
Lower your chest until it almost touches the floor, with your elbows at about 45°.
Push until your arms are extended.

What goes wrong most often when you do the Push Up on Knees, and how to fix it.

The hips stay bent and the body forms a V pointing up.
Walk your knees back from your hands until knees, hips, and shoulders are in line.
The kneecap rests directly on the hard floor and hurts on every rep.
Place your knees on a mat or a folded towel, slightly above the kneecap.
You only go halfway down because this version looks easy.
Lower until your chest is a fist's width from the floor on every rep; if you have reps to spare, move to the full push up.
