| Wall Sits | Wall sits are an isometric exercise that targets the lower body, especially the quadriceps, glutes, and calves. They’re simple to perform and don’t require any equipment, making them a great addition to home workouts.
Step 1: Stand with your back against a wall, feet shoulder-width apart, and about two feet from the wall.
Step 2: Slide down the wall until your knees are at a 90-degree angle, as if sitting in an invisible chair. Ensure your knees are aligned over your ankles.
Step 3: Keep your back flat against the wall, with your core engaged and hands off your thighs.
Step 4: Hold the position for as long as possible, aiming for 20–60 seconds, depending on your fitness level.
Step 5: Rest for a few seconds and repeat for additional sets if desired.
Wall sits are excellent for building endurance and strengthening the lower body without heavy impact, making them ideal for anyone from beginners to seasoned athletes. | | Explore More Fitness |
