Wall Push Ups

A beginner-friendly push-up performed standing against a wall, reducing load on the chest and arms.

How to do it

1. Stand facing a wall and place your palms on it at shoulder height.
2. Step your feet back until your arms are fully extended.
3. Bend your elbows to bring your chest toward the wall.
4. Keep your body in a straight line throughout.
5. Press back to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of reps.

Tips

• Avoid flaring your elbows straight out to the sides.
• Step your feet farther from the wall to increase the difficulty.
• Keep your core engaged so your hips do not sag.
