Exercise Description

The wall push up exercise builds chest strength and teaches proper push-up form. It's perfect for beginners or anyone getting back into fitness.

How To

1. Stand arm's length from a wall with feet hip-width apart 2. Place palms flat against the wall at shoulder height and shoulder-width apart 3. Keep your body straight and lean forward into the wall push up position 4. Push back to starting position using your chest and arms 5. Repeat the wall push up movement for desired reps while keeping core tight

Form Tips

• Keep your body in a straight line during the wall push up - no sagging hips • Push through your whole palm, not just fingertips • Control the movement - don't bounce off the wall • Keep your head neutral and look straight ahead

Common Mistakes

• Standing too close to the wall reduces the wall push up challenge and benefits • Letting hips sag or stick out breaks proper form • Moving too fast during the wall push up instead of controlling each rep
