Step by step

1. Lean your back against a wall and walk your feet forward.
2. Slide down until your knees are bent, as if sitting on an invisible chair.
3. Hold there and breathe; slide back up when the time is up.

Tip: Higher is fine: a shallow wall sit still works your thighs and glutes.

Go easy: Keep your knees over your ankles, never past your toes, and stay high if they ache.
