How to Do Wall Walks

1. Start in a push-up position with your feet touching the wall.
2. Place your feet on the wall and begin walking them upward as you walk your hands back toward the wall.
3. Continue until you reach a controlled handstand position close to the wall.
4. Pause briefly, then reverse the movement by walking your hands forward and feet down the wall.
5. Return to the starting position with control. If you want to, you can start/finish each repetition with a push-up.
6. Repeat for reps.

Commentary

Wall walks are a challenging bodyweight exercise that build shoulder strength, scapular control, and core stability. They’re an effective progression toward handstands.
