Wall Sit
The wall sit is an isometric quad exercise that builds muscular endurance and mental toughness with no equipment. Lean against a wall with thighs parallel to the floor and hold the position for time.
How to Perform
Stand with your back flat against a wall and feet about two feet in front of you.
Slide down until your thighs are parallel to the floor and knees are at 90 degrees.
Keep your back flat against the wall and arms at your sides or crossed.
Hold the position, breathing steadily and squeezing your quads.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Not sliding down far enough — thighs should be parallel to the ground.
Pushing hands on knees for support, which reduces quad engagement.
Letting the knees drift past the toes, adding stress to the knee joint.
