Instructions

1. Face a wall and stand an arm’s length away from it.

2. Extend one arm straight out and place the palm of your hand flat against the wall at shoulder height.

3. Position your feet shoulder-width apart to maintain good balance.

4. Engage your core and keep your body in a straight line from head to toe.

5. Lean your body towards the wall, bending the arm at the elbow, and lowering your chest to the wall in a controlled push-up motion.

6. Push back to the starting position, extending your arm and using your chest and triceps muscles.

7. Repeat the motion for the desired number of reps before switching to the other arm.

Remember to keep your movements controlled, and avoid locking your elbow fully at the end of the motion. Adjust the difficulty by changing your distance from the wall; the closer you are, the easier it will be, and conversely, the further you stand, the more challenging it becomes. Always keep proper form to prevent injury.
