How to perform Bodyweight Wall Push Up with proper form

Starting Position

  1. Hands: Place your hands on the wall at shoulder height, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  2. Feet: Step back about arm's length so your body leans toward the wall.
  3. Body: Engage your core and keep a straight line from head to heels.

Movement

  1. Lowering Phase:

    • Bend your elbows to bring your chest toward the wall.
    • Keep your elbows angled back, not flared out to the sides.
    • Lower until your face nearly touches the wall.
  2. Raising Phase:

    • Press through your palms to push your body back away from the wall.
    • Keep your body straight and core tight throughout the movement.

Key Points

  • The farther your feet are from the wall, the harder the exercise.
  • Keep your hips in line with your shoulders, not sagging or piking.
  • Move your whole body as one unit rather than leading with your head.
