Coach's Tips

This exercise involves leaning against the wall, promoting strength in your lower body and core!

Start Position

1. Stand with your back touching the wall, ensuring your feet are about a foot away from it and placed shoulder-width apart.

2. Slide slowly down the wall until your knees form a right angle, ensuring your knees are positioned above your ankles and your hips are level with your knees.

3. Keep your chest up and tuck your chin slightly in.

Proper Form

1. Maintain the position for 30 seconds while keeping your core engaged.

2. If you want to increase the challenge, extend the duration up to a minute.

Breathing Technique

1. Breathe deeply while holding the wall sit, taking breaths in and out through your nose.

2. Concentrate on slow breathing, maintaining an elevated chest and engaged core.

Precautions

1. Ensure correct form while maintaining the wall sit.

2. Avoid rounding or arching your lower back.

3. Make certain your knees do not go beyond your toes.

4. If you feel any pain or discomfort, stop and seek advice from a healthcare professional.
