Wall Press Up

A good exercise, which can be performed with no equipment, other than a wall or sturdy tree, and is ideal for persons who have a weak upper body, and are unable to perform a box or three quarter style press up.

START	NORMAL
	CLOSE HAND

Lean against a solid object, with your arms straight at the start of the exercise, slowly bending your arms to take your chest towards the surface.

You may decide to start with your hands at shoulder width apart (normal), and then progress by having your hands close together - thumbs and index fingers touching (chest and triceps) or wide arm (chest and biceps).

The further your feet are away from the wall, the greater the lean, and as such the harder the exercise, however always keep your back and legs straight.
