Wall Sit Your Way To Fitness
It goes without saying that exercise improves fitness and helps you lose weight. Nothing beats a wall sit in this sense! Wall sit is a common exercise for increasing isometric strength and endurance. This move engages your entire lower body, including your hamstrings, quadriceps, and glutes, simultaneously working your abs.
Wall sits may appear simple, but it can be difficult if you are doing it for the first time. Otherwise, it is gentle on your knees and back, and doing it for five minutes on a regular basis can be really beneficial. Wall sits, like planks and squats, may transform your body into a fat-burning furnace. Don’t believe us? Try the exercise and you will start noticing the difference slowly.
With that said, here is how to do a wall sit:
- Lean on a flat wall with your back against it.
- The distance between your feet and the wall should be around 2 feet.
- Slowly lower yourself, relying on your walk for support, engaging your core, and bringing your feet forward.
- Make sure your hips and knees are at a 90-degree angle.
- Your knees should not extend past your toes and your thighs should be parallel to the floor.
- Hold for 20 seconds or as long as you can comfortably hold the position.
- Maintain a normal breathing pattern while keeping your hands in a neutral position.
- Return to the starting position after finishing the rep.
You can increase the time as you get used to the exercise. Beginners should start slow and stop in case they feel pain in their back, legs or any other body part.
