As mentioned earlier, these exercises are compound movements that mimic real-life movements and help build functional fitness. Some of the most common basic exercises in calisthenics include:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Knee_Push-Ups\"><\/span><b>Knee Push-Ups\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knee push-ups mainly target the chest, shoulders, and triceps, making them a great option for building upper body strength. They are especially beneficial for beginners and those recovering from injuries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If knee push-ups feel too challenging, start with wall pushups, which will allow you to perform the movement at an angle for easier management.
