Wall pushups are a modified version of traditional pushups that can be performed against a wall, making them suitable for seniors who may have limited upper body strength or mobility. This exercise targets the chest, shoulders, and arms, helping to improve upper-body strength and stability.
Stand facing a sturdy wall with your feet hip-width apart and your hands flat against the wall at shoulder height. Lean forward slightly, and bend your elbows, lowering your chest toward the wall. Push through your palms to straighten your arms, and return to the starting position. Aim for two to three sets of 10 to 15 repetitions.
