At Charlotte Kettlebell, we embrace progressions and modifications for all exercises.
This is vital for making sure you can work hard with every move without increased injury risk.
Pushups are one of those exercises that most people have a hard time performing correctly right off the bat. Often people will shelf the pushup altogether in favor of other moves that work the upper body, unfortunately with the core and strength benefits going out the window as well.
