Wall push-ups – how to do it right
Hands on the wall, body straight, chest to the wall and back.
This is how Stickfreed, our glowing stick figure, shows you the exercise on your TV – here the start, middle and end position. In the app he turns slowly so you can see everything.
How to do it
- Hands on the wall shoulder-width.
- Body in one straight line.
- Chest to the wall then push away.
How long?
40–45 seconds at a steady pace: slow on the way down, strong on the way up. 2–4 rounds.
If something niggles
Then do Arm openers instead. Stop if it hurts; if you have complaints or pre-existing conditions, check with a doctor or physio first.
