Stand about 2 feet away from a wall, with your back facing the wall.

Wall Sit (1)

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.

Wall Sit (2)

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.

This is another one of those exercises we did in high school gym class.

It’s great for your legs and puts a hurting on your arms too.

Start out on your hands and knees, then come onto your hands and feet. Put one leg forward underneath your chest and have the other straight back behind you.

To do the exercise, keep alternating legs back and forth. It’s like your legs are running, but since your hands are on the ground, it’s like climbing a flat mountain! 🙂
