Great for beginners. It's easy for those who train regularly to forget that some people are just starting out, and they should be applauded not ridiculed for wanting to make an effort.
I'm not advanced by any stretch of the imagination, I'm an intermediate level, and I still do wall push ups. Do what you're comfortable with.

[noonelikesyou]

I'm only here just to make sure I'm using the right position because I haven't done this in a while

[yotetoob]

Physio prescribed me this exercise for rehab, wanted to double-check my form before waiting weeks for my next appointment... this video is a tremendous help! Thank you! Perfectly explained and clear demonstration, I'm now confident I'll have good progress to show my physio next session 👍

I have pretty much through depression and feelin worthless have always been a couch potato. About ten years ago I received a horrific wake up call and til this day I am still havin some pretty bad issues with my health. It didn't help that two years ago this month I got covid pretty bad. Having copd and an already compromised immune system wreaked havoc on my body, mental health as well as I aslo lost my sweet mother jus a few days b4 I was diagnosed with covid to a rare untreatable form of breast cancer. God brought me through it all or I promise you I would not be here to type all this. To God be the glory!!!! 🙌🙌Because of all this I put on alot of weight. I've been trying to find exercises to try to help turn my health and life around. Tryna eat less and better as well. Tyfs God bless you

I turned on the video and i was waiting for them to film in a gym or something and i see with jeens 🤣🤣

[Felixismybiasforever]

Ive seen videos telling me to do wall pushups cuz its the easiest variation but they dont give a clear explanation on how to do it because it just seems so simple and there i am struggling until i found this video so tysm

[TheMindProjection]

Needed some push exercises for my mother's PPL push day. She's very little mobile after a knee injury and this horizontal push is exavtly what I needed.

[ErikPT]

Perfect for my shoulder muscles which have been severally damaged after the injury. I’m re-working on regaining my shoulder strength 6 months after therapy

Cheers

[dalenamoore]

Thank you so much, just realised I've been doing it wrong.

The slides of the video where postures to be avoided must have a red cross ❌. Otherwise, people not fluent with English may think it is yet another posture that's being advised. Simple act of common sense!

I haven't done press ups for years, but I noticed why I struggle. My hands are at an angle facing the wall. I can't get them flush on the wall with my arms straight.

[sohommajumder]

My wrists are hurting after this exercise. Is it normal?

[darkphoenix]

It's the most easy way to do pushups

[mariogarcia]

How many should I do as a beginner and progressing?

[sheivincent]

I like your video the only thing I would've added at the end was the proper way to do it again I had to go back to the beginning and in the area that I live in the signal is horrible plus my phone was not cooperating so it took me a while but had you put the right way again at the end a couple time from side and back wouldve been awesome. Other than that thanks for the video. I'm teaching my 4 year old grandson who can't seem to keep his hands off my walls so I figure hey since he has them there do a push up lol might as well get him started loving to work out he already thinks he's Aquaman and does sit ups every night so I'm going to slowly add things as he grows.

[Yang_Shore]

Ohhh so i don't actually need my chest to touch the wall 😭😭😭

[Hiroakiarai]

My bones keep cracking and it hurts is that normal

[ertugrulghazilioneditzzz]

Video was too short and a
Had all the information I needed

[JuliusSDeLaCruz]

Is there an alt version of this if you’re still trying rehab a torn calf muscle?
