Exercise of the week - Wall Sit

This weeks exercise is deceptive. It looks easy, but once you are sitting into it for any length of time, you will start to feel the burn! It is a brilliant one for convenience as all you need is a wall! So no excuses, ok !:) 

This exercise works the core, legs and bum, thus the reason why it's one of my favourites! 

Here's how to do it:

1. Stand in front of a wall (back to the wall about 2 feet in front of it) and lean against it.
2. Slide down until your knees are at about 90-degree angles and hold, keeping the abs contracted, for 20-60 seconds. Do not rest your hands on your lap!
3. Come back to start and repeat, holding the squat at different angles to work the lower body in different ways.

If you want alternatively you can sit into it and hold for as long as you can hold it for, without standing up!

To make it more difficult, hold some weights in your hands and hold your arms out to the side, this will incorporate the deltoid (shoulder) muscles into the exercise. 

Try it tonight and enjoy :)
