| | | | | | | | Wall Pushup | The wall pushup is great for building core strength, anterior chest wall muscles, and triceps. This modified pushup is easier and more accessible than the classic pushup, making it a better option for many people.
Step 1: Stand and place your arms straight out in front of you with your elbows locked and your hands on a wall.
Step 2: Slowly lean into the wall while bending your elbows until your face almost touches the wall. Push back out and straighten your arms.
Step 3: This counts as 1 repetition. Try to perform 3 sets of 15 repetitions.
To increase the exercise intensity, you can push off a counter or a stabilized chair. Be sure to move slowly and carefully while keeping your back straight. |
