Instructions

1. Stand facing away from a wall.

2. Place your hands on the floor shoulder-width apart, and walk your feet up the wall until your body is at a declined angle.

3. Your arms should be straight, supporting your weight, and your body should form a straight line from your head to your heels.

4. Engage your core and keep your body rigid throughout the movement.

5. Slowly lower yourself towards the floor by bending your elbows, keeping them close to your body.

6. Lower down until your chest nearly touches the ground, then pause briefly.

7. Push back up to the starting position by extending your arms and driving through the palms of your hands.

8. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, making sure to maintain good form and a braced core throughout the set.

Make sure you perform the decline push up against the wall with control, and adjust the angle of your body by walking your feet higher or lower on the wall to modify the difficulty of the exercise. Higher feet increase the difficulty, while lower feet decrease it.
