How to do a wall slide

  1. Stand with your back flat against a wall, feet a few inches away from the base, arms raised with elbows and wrists pressed to the wall in a goalpost position.
  2. Keep your lower back, elbows, and wrists in contact with the wall throughout the movement.
  3. Slowly slide your arms upward until they are nearly straight overhead.
  4. Pause briefly at the top, maintaining contact with the wall.
  5. Lower your arms back down to the starting goalpost position with control.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

  • Keep your lower back pressed against the wall to avoid arching.
  • Maintain contact between your elbows and wrists and the wall as much as possible.
  • Move slowly and avoid shrugging your shoulders toward your ears.
