# Decline Push Up Against Wall

Begin by placing your feet against a wall and positioning your hands on the floor shoulder-width apart.

## How to do it

1. Begin by placing your feet against a wall and positioning your hands on the floor shoulder-width apart. Your body should be in a decline position with your feet elevated on the wall.
2. Engage your core and ensure your body forms a straight line from your head to your feet.
3. Lower your chest towards the floor by bending your elbows, keeping them at a 45-degree angle to your body.
4. Push through your hands to return to the starting position, straightening your arms. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

## Form tips

- Ensure your hands are positioned directly under your shoulders when you lower yourself.
- Perform the movement with control to maximize muscle activation and prevent injury.
- Breathe steadily throughout the exercise, exhaling as you push up and inhaling as you lower down.
- Use a stable wall to ensure your feet remain securely in place throughout the exercise.
