3. Wall Sit

The wall sit is a lower body exercise that is isometric — you are holding your body in a still position, as opposed to moving up and down as in a squat. When you slide down the wall, stop at the point where you feel comfortable. If that means the angle between your thigh and calf is more than90 degrees, that's ok.

Keep the back pressed against the wall, not just the shoulders, and keep the neck relaxed. Expect to feel this exercise in your glutes, quads, hamstrings, calves, and inner thighs.
