🧱 Standing Push-Ups

Not ready for the floor? The wall's got your back.

Standing push-ups are a brilliant way to build upper body strength without needing to get on the floor. Using a wall for resistance, you’ll strengthen your chest, arms and shoulders while also engaging your core and improving posture.

They’re perfect if you’re easing into strength work, recovering from injury or want a quick movement snack between meetings. Keep your spine long, elbows soft and focus on controlled movement in and out from the wall.

💡 Why they’re worth doing:

✔️ Builds strength in chest, shoulders and triceps

✔️ Engages your core for stability

✔️ Supports good posture and shoulder alignment

✔️ Low impact and joint-friendly

✔️ Easy to scale — the steeper your angle, the harder the work

Functional strength like this helps with everyday movements — pushing doors, lifting groceries, supporting better posture. And it’s surprisingly satisfying once you get into the rhythm 💪

Just you, a wall and a few minutes. No excuses — just move!
