Wall Push-ups
Wall push-ups train the chest, shoulders and triceps with low load and good control. They support upper-body strength useful for carrying light items and pushing doors.
Step-by-step
- Stand facing a wall about an arm's length away. Place hands on the wall at shoulder height and shoulder-width apart.
- Bend the elbows and bring the chest toward the wall, keeping the body straight from head to heels.
- Push back to the starting position. Aim for 8–12 repetitions, 1–3 sets.
Progressions
Move your feet further back or perform incline push-ups on a sturdy table to increase load.
Common mistakes & safety
Don't let the hips sag; maintain a straight line. Keep movements smooth and controlled.
