Do 10 wall push-ups

Lean into a wall and push away, ten times with control.

Why it helps

Push-ups train your chest, shoulders and arms. Doing them against a wall lets you practise good form with very little strain.

How to do it

1. Stand an arm's length from a wall, hands on it at shoulder height.
2. Bend your elbows and bring your chest toward the wall, body straight.
3. Push back to the start. Repeat ten times.

Make it easier

Stand closer to the wall and do five.

Make it harder

Move your feet further back or use a sturdy table edge instead.

Stop if you feel sharp pain in your shoulders or wrists.
