1. Positioning: - Find a flat wall and stand with your back against it. - Walk your feet forward about 2 feet away from the wall, keeping your feet shoulder-width apart. - Slide your back down the wall until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Your knees should be directly above your ankles.
2. Body Position: - Keep your head, shoulders, and back pressed against the wall. - Your arms can be crossed over your chest or held out in front of you for balance.
3. Movement: - Hold this seated position for as long as you comfortably can. Aim for at least 20-30 seconds if you’re a beginner. - Focus on breathing steadily as you hold the position.
4. Returning to Start: - To release the position, push through your heels to slide back up the wall and return to a standing position.
5. Repetitions: - Repeat for 2-3 sets, resting for 30 seconds to 1 minute between sets.
Tips: - Ensure your knees do not extend past your toes while in this position. - Adjust the distance from the wall if you feel too much strain in your knees.
