Wall Sit May 15, 2007
Stand about 2 feet away from a wall, with your back facing the wall.
Slowly lower yourself into a “seated” position with your back against the wall and your knees bent at about a 90 degree angle. Just hold that position.
You can start doing “reps” where you hold the pose for 30 seconds. Gradually work your way to holding the pose for 5 minutes or more!
Works your quads for running and cycling and especially skiing and sailing.
the guy in this wallsit picture is cheating,
He should be at a 90 degree angle. I could hold his pose all day long. I’m so disapointed in your website.
dude, who cares?
Good one kate
George, get your eyes checked. His knees are bent at a 90 degree angle, and that’s what matters in this pose. Foot placement can be near or far from the wall - in this case his feet are close to the wall, so lowering his back would actually be bad for his knees.
george is right. you guys are clueless.
if knees being bent at 90 degrees was all that matters then he should be able to get a great workout kneeling down with his knees on the floor.

Apparently you missed the first line “Stand about 2 feet away from a wall…”
Standing and kneeling down are quite different.
