๐This is super impressive watching Peter power through this 40kg wall squat!
Wall squats are one of those simple but powerful exercises that almost anyone can do (you do not have to carry 40 kilos like Peter).
They build incredible endurance in your quadriceps (the muscles at the front of your thighs) and all you need is a blank wall to lean against.
If you want to try it yourself, here is a quick guide:
How to do a proper wall squat/wall sit:
โข Stand with your back against the wall, feet shoulder-width apart and about 60cm forward
โข Draw your belly in and slide down until your knees reach a 90ยฐ angle (less angle will reduce the intensity and better for knee issues)
โข Adjust your feet so your knees stay aligned over your ankles
โข Keep your upper and lower back pressed against the wall
โข Hold for 20โ60 seconds (remember to breathe!)
โข Stand up, rest, and repeat until you reach 90 seconds total
A simple exercise but a fantastic way to build strength, stability, and confidence.
