Painful where exactly? I don't think folks realise just how hard an exercise this can be. I used to do it in the Army as a competition amongst the guys to see who could hold it the longest. I still think the duration was a few minutes maximum before everyone's legs start shaking uncontrollably and the PAIN rises is in the muscles used. Build up as the author advises above, 30 seconds in position, rest for 1 minute and repeat 3 times. Add length of exercise and/or weight as you progress.
@@RobertsBulgaria for my quads, i do this for practice purposes for rowing, I basically just need my quads to be able to hold a lot of wait for a long time, when I do this I normally go with a plate in hand and just go till I drop, then do it for three to five sets, depending on how much time I have, it also kind of helps with that mental aspect for a lot of workouts
I had a volleyball coach that made us do wallsits after the end of each practice, if I recall I did not have proper form, actually none of us did really, he never taught us how to do wallsits. He made us do wall sits for 3 minutes and 30 seconds one time, and I was definitely not doing them right 😅
To start we would say trying - 30 seconds on - 1 minute off - 3 rounds Gradually increase time. Once you get to 1 minute 30 you can start adding weight. Hope that helps!
I have slight knee pain . I went I see knee specialist , he actually asked me to do wall sit but not 90 degree . Normally Squat with weight is actually really bad for knee. That were what my doc told me. I think is better you consult a doc .
It can be a great exercise for strengthening your quads and helping knee pain. But we would recommend seeing a physio first to work out the cause of the pain Usha
Hello 👋🏼, I really love your channel 😍. Can you please do some workout series for beginners 👍🏼 , I’m having a hard time finding good & doable workouts for beginners . We all need to keep moving and to strengthen our muscles in a safe way especially for women 🙋🏻♀️. I would love it if you do a 10 or 15 Min arms workout for example …. Abs , inner thighs using light dumbbells or resistance bands or nothing 🤩🤩 Thanks
Thanks for the lovely feedback Sahar! We completely agree with you about the importance of keeping moving and strengthening your muscles 💪. We already have a beginner full body workout that you can check out here: th-cam.com/video/8nwOUidIwgc/w-d-xo.html. Let us know how you get on! We are currently planning on filming the next series of videos, and focused workouts is something we will definitely consider - so thank you for the great feedback! Also if you get a chance please give us a 'sub', as the more we have the more videos we can make 😊.
@@GetExerciseConfident Hi , I am a subscriber now ! 😍 the reason why I love your channel, is that you have physiotherapists to guide us to the correct & safe ways to do our exercises 💛. TH-cam is full of fitness instructors. but most of them are very Advanced !! So When I try to do their workouts I fail 😔. Lately I have been focusing on learning how to activate my muscles with physiotherapy ( at home) and I really enjoy it 🤩. I hope you continue to help us with great informative content. I wish you the best 💛
Please don't use the same background color as your clothes, and a side view will help immensely.
Am I the only one who find this workout extremely painful

Great vid. How long should the position be held, before progressing to added weight? Any warm-up suggested before the movement? Thanks.
That is my question also!

Good video... you guys always describe the work out so well.
Thanks for the amazing feedback Rahul! Keep up updated how your progress goes!
please suggest holding time in each rep + number of reps recommendation?
To start we would say trying
- 30 seconds on
- 1 minute off
- 3 rounds
Gradually increase time. Once you get to 1 minute 30 you can start adding weight.
Hope that helps!
@@GetExerciseConfident This would be useful in your description and even more useful in the video itself.
Thanks mate, very helpful!
