    Wall Pushup

    The wall pushup is a beginner-friendly variation of the traditional pushup, performed standing and pressing against a wall. It primarily targets the pectorals, with secondary emphasis on the tricep and deltoids. This exercise is ideal for those new to strength training or individuals needing a low-impact alternative.
