Incline pushups are done as a typical pushup except the more erect the body the easier the movement is. So as a progressively more difficult exercise stand with the feet shoulder width apart and the hands shoulder width apart up at an equal height of the ears. Perform sets of 15 pushups until fatigued. For greater intensity step the feet further away from the wall. Also you can progress down to counter tops, the bases of chairs and eventually to performing pushups from the ground.
