Wall Push-ups: Upper-Body Strengthening



Wall push-ups are upper-body exercises that help build strength in your triceps, pectorals, and deltoids. This exercise can be done in a standing or seated position.

-Stand or sit approximately two feet away from a wall, facing it with feet together.

-Place your hands flat on the wall. Your arms should be straight out, at shoulder height and slightly more than shoulder-width apart.

-Lean toward the wall, keeping your elbows tucked in to your sides, until your nose almost touches it.

-Hold this position and focus on your posture. You should feel a slight stretch in your calves (if standing) and in your upper chest. Check that your body is in a straight line from head to toe if you're standing or your back is straight if you're seated.

-Slowly return to your starting position.

-Repeat three to five times.

* Like any exercise program, please consult your healthcare professional before you begin. Please stop immediately if any of the exercises cause pain or harm to your body.
