Weighted Wall Sit

IntermediateBodyweight

The weighted wall sit is an isometric hold with your back on the wall and a plate on your thighs for extra load. Holding the 90-degree position builds strength and endurance in the quads, glutes, and hamstrings. The added weight makes it a step up from the bodyweight version.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Press your back flat against a wall and slide down until your knees bend to 90 degrees.

  2. 2

    Rest a weight plate on top of your thighs.

  3. 3

    Extend your arms out in front of your shoulders.

  4. 4

    Hold the seated position for the set time, keeping your thighs parallel to the floor.

  5. 5

    Stand back up carefully once time is up and remove the plate.
