The decline push-up against a wall is a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the upper chest and shoulders. By elevating the feet, this variation increases the resistance, challenging the upper body and core more intensely. It's beneficial for building strength and stability.
How to do it
- Place your feet against a wall at hip height.
- Assume a plank position with hands shoulder-width apart on the floor.
- Engage your core and lower your chest towards the floor by bending the elbows.
- Press back to starting position by straightening the arms.
