// WALL SIT //

VARIATIONS

Try the shallow version or use a chair or a stability ball to take some pressure off your knees.

WITH A STABILITY BALL

1. Stand facing away from a wall and place a stability ball between your lower back and the wall.

2. Bend your knees and lower your body to form a 45-degree angle with your legs. Allow the stability ball to roll toward your upper back. Hold this position for 15 seconds.

SHALLOW SIT

1. Stand facing 1 foot away from a wall and place your back flat against the wall. Relax your arms at your sides.

2. Slightly bend your knees to slowly lower your body to form a 45-degree angle with your legs.

3. Extend your arms forward until parallel with the floor. Hold this position for 30 seconds.

WITH A CHAIR

1. Stand facing away from the seat of a chair and relax your arms at your sides.

2. Bend your knees to slowly lower your body until your buttocks slightly touch the seat of the chair.

3. Extend your arms forward until parallel with the floor. Hold this position for 30 seconds. (Hover 1 to 2 inches off the seat. You can sit if needed, but return to the hovering position until the time ends.)
