Wall push-up
- Palms on a solid wall at shoulder height.
- Bend elbows, lean in, then push away. Keep your body straight.
Make it easier / A little more, when ready
Stand closer to the wall.
Move your feet a little farther away.
The wall has no complaints.
A calm finish
Slow down, walk gently and let your breathing settle for a minute.
Aim for consistency, not a marathon session.
Try strength practice on two non-consecutive days a week. Start smaller if needed. On other days, choose gentle movement or rest. These short starters are not a complete fitness prescription.
Choose a stable wall and a clear, comfortable floor. Keep breathing. Stop for pain, dizziness or feeling unwell. If you have an injury, a medical condition, are pregnant or are unsure about an exercise, ask a qualified professional to adapt it.
