Wall sits are a great exercise but once you’re finished you have to figure out a way to stand up. I usually just lean forward and push off the wall with my hands. #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks #wallsits

If you’re just getting started, a 10-15 second wall sit will feel pretty challenging. The deeper the squat the harder this is. When you finish, lean forward and push off of the wall behind you. #agingshouldntsuck #exercisesnacks #wallsits

Exercise has to be doable to be effective. You can do that with wall sits by adjusting how deep you go. Your thighs don’t have to be parrallel to the ground for them to be effective. Find a depth that’s doable and start there. #agingshouldntsuck #wallsits #exercisesnacks

Guess who did barbell squats the day after doing 90 second wall sits for the first time the night before?

My dumb ass.

Wall sits are a great beginning exercise. They aren’t easy but they let you start with just a few seconds and add more time as you get stronger. Hinge at your hips and push off with your hands against the wall to stand up. Start with 10 seconds. #agingshouldntsuck #startwhereyouare #wallsits
