3 Wall Sit Variations That Will Make Your Legs Indestructible
Want to build muscle and prevent injuries at the same time?
The wall sit is exceptional for two reasons. One, it works on endurance like nothing else. Two, it’s easily adaptable to make it accessible to virtually everyone. While I always encourage my clients to prioritize rep-based movements that go through a full range of motion, mixing up the stimuli and exposing your tissues to longer holds is also a great idea. This will freshly strengthen your tendons and muscles while challenging you mentally. There’s a reason why this exercise is included in many fitness assessments!
If you’re just doing the regular wall sit, however, you’re missing out on some fantastic benefits of its many variations. My job today is to introduce 3 of my favorite modifications to allow you to expand your arsenal of at-home exercises and get more out of your lower body. Whether you’re a soccer player looking to improve your leg strength or you’re recovering from a knee injury, these movements will benefit nearly all populations!
It’s time to get creative and level up your wall sit.
