Wall Push-up

The wall push-up gives you the push-up's chest and shoulder benefit at an intensity anyone can manage — perfect for a quick desk-side set. VibeFit reads your elbow angle to count clean reps.

How to do it

  1. 1Stand arm's length from a wall, palms flat at shoulder height.
  2. 2Bend your elbows to bring your chest toward the wall.
  3. 3Press back to straight arms, keeping your body in a line.

Form cues

  • Keep a straight line from head to heels
  • Lower until elbows reach about 90°
  • Keep your core braced
  • Step further back to make it harder

Common mistakes

  • Sagging hips
  • Shrugging the shoulders

Benefits
