Wall Push-Ups: Upper-Body Strength Anywhere

A push-up against a wall builds the chest, shoulders and arms without loading the wrists and back the way a floor push-up does. Step the feet back to make it harder.

How to do it

  1. Stand an arm's length from a wall and place the palms on it at shoulder height.
  2. Keep the body in one straight line from head to heels.
  3. Bend the elbows and bring the chest toward the wall.
  4. Press back to the start.
  5. Do 10 to 15, rest, and repeat.
  6. To make it harder, step the feet further back.
Who this is forBeginners, older adults, and anyone rebuilding strength.
Take careKeep the elbows angled back, not flared out to the sides. Stop with shoulder or wrist pain.
