How to do a wall push up

  1. Stand facing the wall and place both palms flat on it at shoulder height, arms straight.
  2. Step your feet back so your body forms a straight line leaning toward the wall.
  3. Bend your elbows and lower your chest toward the wall while keeping your body rigid.
  4. Pause briefly when your face nears the wall, keeping your core braced.
  5. Push through your palms to straighten your arms and return to the start.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions maintaining steady tempo.

Form tips

  • Keep your body in a straight line from head to heels, avoiding sagging hips.
  • Move slowly and controlled, both lowering and pressing.
  • Keep your core engaged and glutes tight throughout.
  • Position hands slightly wider than shoulders for chest engagement.
