Wall sits are a simple yet effective exercise for strengthening the muscles in your thighs and improving lower-body endurance. This exercise can be performed using a wall for support, making it accessible for seniors of all fitness levels.
Stand with your back against a sturdy wall and your feet hip-width apart. Slide your back down the wall until your thighs are parallel to the floor, forming a seated position. Hold the seated position for as long as comfortable, aiming for 30 to 60 seconds. Slowly slide back up the wall to return to the starting position. Aim for two to three sets, gradually increasing the duration of each hold as you become stronger.
