Wall Sit

Strength Stability Lower body

How to read ahead. Do to go one move at a time.

Lean against a wall and slide down until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Hold steady and breathe.

Option. No wall nearby? Hold a mid-squat position instead. Place a dumbbell on your thighs for extra difficulty.
