Wall Sit

What it is

You hold a seated position against a wall, maintaining a 90-degree bend in your knees. This isometric exercise primarily strengthens your quadriceps, gluteal muscles, and core.

Technique tips

• Keep your entire back flat and pressed firmly against the wall.
• Ensure your knees form a 90-degree angle directly above your ankles.
• Brace your abdominal muscles throughout the hold to support your spine.
• Maintain steady, controlled breathing to help extend your hold time.
• Avoid resting your hands on your thighs; keep the work in your legs.

How to track your progress

Log the hold time of each set. Straddly keeps your best hold for this exercise and tells you when you beat it, so a two-second gain does not go unnoticed.
