Wall push-up

How to do it

1. 1 Stand an arm’s length from the wall, hands on it at shoulder height and a little wider than your shoulders.
2. 2 Keep your body in one straight line from head to heels.
3. 3 Bend your elbows to bring your chest towards the wall, then push back.

Watch out for

• Sticking your hips out
• Flaring the elbows straight out to the sides
