Wall Push-Up

How to Do:

1. Set Up: Stand facing a wall, about an arm's length away. Place your hands on the wall at shoulder height, with your fingers spread wide and palms flat. Your feet should be hip-width apart.
2. Body Position: Keep your body straight from head to heels, engaging your core and glutes. Avoid arching your back or letting your hips sag.
3. Lower Down: Bend your elbows to lower your chest toward the wall, keeping your elbows at about a 45-degree angle from your body. Inhale as you descend.
4. Push Back: Press through your palms to straighten your arms and push your body back to the starting position, exhaling as you do so.
5. Repeat: Perform the desired number of repetitions, maintaining a steady, controlled motion.

Benefits:

The wall push-up is a great exercise for beginners or those with limited upper body strength. It primarily targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps, while also engaging the core. This variation is easier on the wrists and shoulders compared to traditional push-ups and can be a good starting point for building upper body strength.
