How to do it

A push-up against the wall. It builds chest, shoulder and arm strength without getting down on the floor.

  1. Stand an arm's length from a wall and place your hands on it at shoulder height, a little wider than your shoulders.
  2. Keep your body straight from head to heels.
  3. Bend your elbows to bring your chest towards the wall.
  4. Push back to straight arms.

Tips and safety

  • Step your feet further back to make it harder.
  • Keep your stomach tight so your hips don't sag.
  • When it's easy, move on to incline push-ups on a bench.

Move within a comfortable range and stop if you feel pain. If you have an injury or health condition, check with a qualified professional first.
