Wall Sit — quadriceps exercise in the LIFTAG library

Wall Sit

Time

Avoid insisting on a 90-degree position if it causes joint discomfort or makes the heels lift. Slide higher to reduce the demand; lower gradually, extend the hold, or add a light load only when you can exit by standing or sliding down safely rather than collapsing at fatigue.
