How to perform?
The wall sit exercise is a deceptively simple yet highly effective isometric move that works your lower body muscles such as your quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes. In this exercise, you lean your back against a wall and lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the ground, then hold this position for a set amount of time. This exercise helps to build strength, endurance, and stability in your lower body while also improving your posture and balance. It can be done almost anywhere with a flat surface, making it a great addition to your workout routine both at home and at the gym.
