How to do the Wall Push Up

This exercise is great for people who are not able to do a regular push up. To begin, start standing up and then lean against a wall with your hands out. Now with your hands at shoulder length apart press your body back to the starting position. To make it harder on yourself find something that is lower. (ie. a desk, then a bench, then finally the ground)
