Wall Sits with Leg Extensions

Exercise

About

The Wall Sit with Leg Extensions is an advanced variation of the traditional wall sit exercise. It targets the glutes, quads, and hamstrings, enhancing endurance and strength in these muscle groups. To perform this exercise, start by assuming the standard wall sit position with your back against the wall and knees bent at a 90-degree angle. Then, extend one leg out in front of you, keeping it straight, and hold for a few seconds before returning it to the starting position. Alternate legs to ensure balanced development. This exercise not only strengthens the lower body but also improves balance and stability by engaging the core and stabilizer muscles. The leg extension adds an extra challenge, requiring more muscle activation and control. It is an effective way to increase the intensity of a wall sit without needing additional weights, making it suitable for both beginners and advanced fitness enthusiasts. By incorporating this exercise into your routine, you can enhance your overall lower body strength and endurance.
