Wall Sit


(Any wall sturdy enough to hold your weight can be used.)


Start with your back against the wall. This is a static position  and will help increase muscle endurance. Slowly start to slide back down the wall until hip flexors are at a 90 degree angle. A posterior pelvic tilt will help hip flexors. Feet should have slid away from wall. Knee flexors should also be at a 90 degree angle directly over the feet. Hold this position for 30 seconds, 45 seconds then 1 minute. Both agonist and antagonist muscles are used to keep legs steady during the exercise.
