Stand an arm's length from a wall, hands flat on it, and bend your elbows until your nose nearly touches.
Wall push-up
How to do it
- Hands at shoulder height, a bit wider than your shoulders.
- Heels stay down, body stays straight.
Blow out as you push away from the wall.
- A wall
- Enough floor to lie down on, arms out.
Watch out for this
Make it fit you

Easier
- Stand closer to the wall.
Harder
Sitting down? Sit facing the wall and press your palms into it, ten slow pushes.
