Wall Sits Guide
- Stand a step away from the wall (facing away from it) and keep your feet hip-width apart.
- Now lean back and place your back on the wall. Gently slide down until your thighs are parallel to the floor and then hold that position.
- Hold that position as long as you can.
Trainer’s Tips
- Avoid placing your hands on the thighs as that makes the exercise easier, let your hands hang on the side.
- Keep your entire back against the wall and keep your abs tight.
- Make sure your ankles are directly below the knees when holding the wall sit.
