Wall Sit

Back flat against the wall, thighs parallel to the floor: hold. Timed, not counted.

How to do it

Setup

Back flat on the wall, feet forward, slide down until the thighs are parallel.

Steps

  1. Hold the position – knees at 90°, shins vertical.
  2. Keep the whole back pressed to the wall.
  3. Time the hold; stand when the form breaks.

Common mistakes

Sliding up as the burn grows: parallel is the deal; re-set or stop. Hands on the thighs: they carry load; arms crossed or hanging. Holding the breath: the clock runs on air.

Breathing

Steady throughout; never held.
