These push-ups will strengthen your arms, shoulders and chest. Try this during a TV commercial break. 

1. Face a wall, standing a little farther than an arm’s length away, with feet shoulder-width apart. 

2. Lean your body forward and put your palms flat against the wall at shoulder height and 
   shoulder-width apart.

3. Slowly breathe in as you bend your elbows and lower your upper body toward the wall in a slow, controlled motion. Keep your feet flat on the floor.

4. Hold the position for 1 second.

5. Breathe out and slowly push yourself back until your arms are straight.

6. Repeat 10-15 times. Rest; repeat 10-15 more times.
