90-Degree Push-Up

A beginner-friendly push-up variation performed with your body at a 90-degree angle, using a wall or elevated surface for support.

Instructions

1. Face a wall and place your hands on it at shoulder width and shoulder height.
2. Keep your body straight and angled away from the wall at approximately 90 degrees.
3. Bend your elbows and lower your chest toward the wall in a controlled manner.
4. Stop when your elbows are bent at approximately 90 degrees.
5. Push through your palms to extend your elbows and return to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the prescribed number of repetitions.

Tips

• The steeper your body angle to the wall, the more challenging the exercise becomes.
• Keep your core engaged and body straight throughout to maintain proper form.
• This is an excellent progression exercise for building strength toward full push-ups.
• Maintain a steady breathing pattern: exhale as you push, inhale as you lower.
• As you gain strength, gradually increase the angle of your body away from the wall.
