Instructions
1. Stand facing the wall at an arm's length away.
2. Place your hands on the wall at chest height with your fingers pointing upwards. Your hands should be closer together than in a regular push-up, about shoulder-width apart.
3. Keep your feet hip-width apart, engage your core to stabilize your body.
4. Lean towards the wall by bending your elbows until your nose nearly touches the wall.
5. Push yourself back to the starting position by extending your arms, focusing on using your chest and triceps muscles.
6. Perform the movement in a slow and controlled manner to maximize muscle engagement.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions and sets.
Ensure you keep your body in a straight line throughout the movement, and do not let your hips sag or stick out. Adjust your hand placement as needed to maintain comfort and avoid undue stress on the wrists.
