OMG A 3 MIN WALL SQUAT - SHIRLEY YOU CANT BE SERIOUS!!!
COUNT ME IN!!!! I GOT THIS
Oh goodness.....I've never heard of a Wall Squat....please clue me in. I need to know before I commit.
I have had surgery on my knee(yrs ago), but I am willing to try. Also, what areas are they good for?0 -
wall sit, also known as a Roman Chair, is an exercise done to strengthen the quadriceps muscles.[1] It is characterized by the two right angles formed by the body, one at the hips and one at the knees. The person wall sitting places their back against a wall with their feet shoulder width apart and a little ways out from the wall. Then, keeping their back against the wall, they lower their hips until their knees form right angles. This is a very intense work out for the quadriceps muscles. It can be very painful to hold this position for extended periods of time. Wall sits are used as a primary strengthening exercise in many sports requiring strong quadriceps like fencing, ice hockey, sailing (mostly small boat racing), skiing and track and field. This exercise is also used as a disciplinary activity in the armed forces. It takes up little space, and can be administered easily in classroom settings to misbehaving soldiers-in-training.
The safety of this exercise is disputed; the knees bear most of the load, especially when held at 90 degrees, so it is a potentially injurious exercise for someone with an existing knee problem

Completed today!0

unfortunately, i'm going to have to drop the wall-sit challenge. the plank is my top priority but the two lower body exercises are too much at once. i have to be able to walk for my job.
today's plank and squats are done - here's to a 5 minute plank and 250 squats by the end of the month!0 -
thank god today is squat rest day! planks done!
hope everyone is having a fantastic day 40 -
brilliant idea! i'm definitely in.0
-
I'm one day behind, trying to catch up by doing in morning and night. It's really helpful to break it down like this, especially the wall-sit.0
-
I'm a little late to the game, but I'll join in too0
-
Is it too late to join in???
I will do the extra couple days at the end of the month to add up to my 30 days!!!
