Wall Push-up Cues:
- Start exercise in a standing position facing the wall: feet shoulder width or together and a few feet away from wall, core engaged, hands against wall and in line with shoulders, look forward, and maintain a straight line from shoulders-hips-feet.
- Keep a straight line as you lead with chest toward wall and bend elbows close to your sides.
- Keep your arms close to your torso during the contraction phase then return to start position in a controlled movement while maintaining a neutral spine for one rep.
Ideas for Exercise Uses:
- Perform as a warm-up exercise prior to a body weight exercise day.
- Add as a Tabata low impact exercise for a full body heart elevating workout.
- Use as a beginner exercise as you learn how to perform the correct movement for a push-up.
