Simple resistance training you can do at home – CHEST & ARMS

3 August, 2010

Wall Push-Ups

These are an excellent Upper Body Exercise. Not quite a PRESS UP but a great place to start but also an excellent movement in their own right - these are to blame for my killer shoulders!!  When done correctly it can build amazing Chest and Arms strength and a strong upper body and Strength in the Chest and Triceps.


•Stand facing a wall with your feet about 1 to 2 feet back from it.
•Place your hands on the wall just outside shoulder-width apart.
•Bending only at the elbows, lower yourself forward towards the wall then push yourself away from it.
•Keep your body stiff and straight during the movement.

I do this as 3 sets of 12 - as in I do this one 12 time thrice!  I love that word, that one and thruppence.  I digress - I combine this with between 9 and 12 other exercises 4 times a week.  I'll post more as the weeks go on.  GET YOUR DRS ADVICE IF YOUR NEW TO MOVEMENT
