The wall sit exercise is a quad burner! This exercise is generally used for building isometric strength and endurance in the quadriceps, glutes and calves.

How to Do a Perfect Wall Sit

It's not a complicated exercise, but many people do it wrong and then complain their knees hurt. So make sure to follow the guidelines below and you will be doing a perfect wall sit!

If you are still unsure be sure to ask your health coach for assistance! 

You know you're doing it right if you form a right angle at your hips and your knees, your back is flat against the wall, and your heels are flat on the ground.

1. Start with your back against a wall with your feet at shoulder width apart and about two feet from the wall.
2. Slowly slide your back down the wall until your thighs are parallel to the ground.
3. Adjust your feet if you need to so that your knees are directly above your ankles (rather than over your toes - DO NOT have your knees over your toes -- this is a BIG NO NO!)
4. Keep your head and back flat against the wall.
5. Try to keep core nice and tight as well.
6. Hold position for allotted time per day of calendar challenge.
