How to do the Wall Sit

1. Stand with your back against a wall and feet shoulder-width apart.
2. Walk your feet forward, then slide down until thighs are parallel to the floor.
3. Extend your arms forward and hold the wall sit while breathing steadily.

Tips

• Press your head and back flat against the wall and keep knees in line with toes.
• Keep weight in your heels instead of your toes.

Adjustments

• Stay higher on the wall if the full squat feels intense.
