Wall sit: how to do it

1 of 4

Back on the wall, feet out in front

  1. Starting position

    Stand with your back against a wall and place your feet hip-width apart, a little way out from the wall.

  2. The movement

    Slide down until your knees are at about a right angle, hold still, then slide back up.

Most common mistake

Don't press your hands into your thighs, keep your back on the wall and your weight through your feet.
