Is it good to do push-ups against a wall?

Exercising can have a very good fitness effect on the body, which can ensure good health. Physical exercise can strengthen many of the body's functions and prevent the problem of rapid functional decline. In addition, you should pay more attention to maintaining regular living and eating habits in normal times. So can doing push-ups against a wall provide a better exercise effect? Let us introduce it in detail below.

Proper strength training can help slow down the functional decline caused by aging. Therefore, the elderly can do more strength training such as dumbbells and push-ups, but standard push-ups are not suitable for the elderly with limited physical strength. They can be changed to high push-ups, that is, doing them against the wall.

The standard way to do push-ups is to lie prone on the ground or mat, with the forefoot on the ground, the body straight, and the hands slightly wider than the shoulders. The body then flexes and extends the elbows, using the strength of the arms to drive the body up and down. However, this set of movements requires a high level of physical endurance from the elderly, and excessive intensity may affect heart function. High push-ups require low physical strength and have a small range of motion. As long as the movements are standard, they can also achieve the purpose of exercising bones and muscles. The specific method is: every morning when you wake up or before going to bed, stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, an arm's length away from the wall, facing the wall, with your palms on the wall, and then do elbow flexion and extension exercises. 15 to 30 minutes each time. If the age is relatively high, the time can be reduced to less than 10 minutes.

The elderly can also use dumbbells, barre, single and double bars and other fitness equipment for equipment exercises to strengthen the strength of the upper limbs, shoulders and chest muscles. In addition, you can also exercise the muscles of the back, legs, abdomen, etc. by bending over, standing on tiptoes, squatting, and tightening the abdomen.

Doing push-ups against a wall can have some great training effects. Therefore, in normal times, you can choose to exercise according to your actual situation and choose a method that suits you, so that the effect will be better. When exercising, you should pay attention to the methods and avoid overexerting yourself. Otherwise, not only will you not get good exercise results, but you may also hurt your body.
