How to do it

  1. Stand an arm's length from a wall and place your hands on it at shoulder height and width.
  2. Bend your elbows to bring your chest toward the wall, keeping your body straight.
  3. Push back to the start. Step further from the wall to make it harder.

When to stop

Stop and rest if you feel chest pain or pressure, are more short of breath than you'd expect, feel dizzy or faint, or have sudden pain. If chest pain or faintness doesn't pass when you rest, call 911.
