Wall Sits: Helpful Tips and Benefits

July 23, 2022 By Paul Leave a Comment

Wall sits are a simple but effective exercise for the legs (especially the quads) and core. To perform them, stand with your back flat against a wall and walk out a couple of feet. Sink into a squat position with the legs at a 90-degree angle. Beginners can hold the position for less time or just not sink all the way to 90 degrees. More advanced exercisers can place a stability ball between their back and the wall. Wall sits can also be enhanced by performing bicep curls, shoulder raises, or wood chops while holding the sit. Alternatively, try marching during the sit. Wall sits improve muscular endurance and even mobility.

Key Takeaways:

  • A basic wall squat is performed with the back flat to the wall and feet a couple feet out.
  • Adding a stability ball between your back and the wall makes it more challenging.
  • People who find wall sits boring can add bicep curls, shoulder raises, or marching.

“Anyone can perform a wall sit because they are simple to perform, and they don’t require any equipment.”
