Wall sit – how to do it right

Back against the wall, knees at a right angle, hold.

This is how Stickfreed, our glowing stick figure, shows you the exercise on your TV – here the start, middle and end position. In the app he turns slowly so you can see everything.

How to do it

1. Back against the wall.
2. Knees at 90° over your ankles.
3. Hold and breathe calmly.

How long?

40–45 seconds at a steady pace: slow on the way down, strong on the way up. 2–4 rounds.

If something niggles

Knee niggling? Then do Squat to chair instead – BLOX swaps it automatically if you mention it at the start. Stop if it hurts; if you have complaints or pre-existing conditions, check with a doctor or physio first.
