Standing press-ups

Using a wall, adopt the position pictured.

Bend your arms to bring your body closer to the wall, then push back.

Repeat 10-15 times.

This is so much easier than real press-ups! But I still felt that it was an effective activity.

I think I’ve said before that my upper-body strength leaves a lot to be desired, so this is a great way to tone my upper arms without half-killing myself.

Plus, it was another opportunity to use my trusty ‘exercise wall’! I've grown quite fond of using it. I might stick some motivational pictures on it to encourage me throughout the year, even though the planner officially finishes tomorrow.
