Ah, wall sits. The much-loved (or loathed) isometric exercise that puts your quads, hamstrings, adductors, calves and core under a seriously fiery spotlight every time you decide to adopt the squat-on-the-wall-position. With that in mind, you might be wondering why I’ve decided to take on a wall sits challenge?
Well, I’m a sucker for resistance training, low impact strength training and compound moves which work multiple muscles and joints and all at once. So naturally, with walls sits ticking all the above, I was more than happy to give them a go. Plus, as research dictates, wall sits have the pretty impressive power to boost muscular strength and endurance and reduce blood pressure (more so than aerobic activity, weight training or high-intensity interval workouts). Not bad, right?
