How to Perform Wall Sits

  1. 1
    To perform, find a suitable patch of wall and turn so your back is leaning against it and your feet are about a two-foot distance out in front of you.
  2. 2
    The soles of your are feet flat on the floor and shoulder-width apart. Now start to gently slide your back down the wall while bending your knees until your thighs are parallel to the floor. There should be a 90-degree angle in the inside of your knee.
  3. 3
    Once you’re feeling comfortable, press your back firmly against the wall, contract your ab muscles, and hold yourself in this sitting position as long as you can stand it. When your thighs start quivering, that’s a good sign your muscles are really working and usually a good moment to slide back up the wall to take a rest.
  4. 4
    Pause for 30 seconds and then repeat your Wall Sit for another 2 sets. If you feel any pain in your knees while performing this exercise, stop immediately.
