Instructions for Wall Sit Repetitions

To perform a set of wall sit repetitions:

  1. Starting Position

    Lean your back against the wall with your feet on the ground, shoulder width apart. Your trunk should be in a neutral position and almost entirely against the wall.

  2. Eccentric (Downward) Motion

    Keeping your knees directly over your ankles, slowly bend them to slide your body down the wall until your knees are bent 90 degrees. Your trunk should continue to be in a neutral position during this motion.

  3. Bottom Position

    Pause at the bottom position for a 2 sec count while maintaining tension to keep your body for sliding any further down.

  4. Concentric (Upward) Motion

    Push into the ground with your feet to raise your body back up along the wall until your legs are fully extended. Remember to breathe normally throughout the entire movement.

  5. End position

    Repeat steps 1 through 4 until you have completed the desired number of wall sits with repetitions before resting.

This completes one set of wall sit repetitions.
