Chest To Wall

How To

Stand in front of the wall, with your back towards the wall. Place your hands down and start climbing your feet up the wall, while bringing your hands as close to the wall as you can.

Try keeping your legs straight, core engaged, elbows straight, and shoulders elevated.

Breathe. Hold as long as your wrists can take it and as long as you can keep a good form.

Tips

Adjust based on your comfort level

Place your hands down and start climbing your feet up the wall, while bringing your hands close to the wall at the angle you're comfortable with.

Upper chest to the wall

Try to pull your upper chest to the wall, this will help you open and elevate your shoulders. Keep your elbows straight, core and legs engaged (tucked tailbone, glutes active, inner thighs together, legs locked, feet pointed).

Breathe

Practice shallow breathing evenly. Do not suddenly inhale/exhale a bunch of air. If you did that while freestanding, you’d lose stability.

Don’t go until failure so you have energy left to walk your hands back out.

Cambered Hands

When you feel you’re going to go over, dig your fingers into the ground and it will help prevent you from toppling over!
