Just 60 seconds a day of wall sits can have a surprisingly profound impact on your body and overall health. What looks like a simple static hold is actually a powerful full-lower-body and core challenge. By pressing your back firmly against the wall and sinking into that invisible chair, you’re activating your quads, glutes, hamstrings, and even your abdominal muscles in one coordinated effort.

Over time, this isometric hold builds muscular endurance the ability of your muscles to stay engaged under tension which translates directly into better performance in running, cycling, and everyday movement.

But the benefits go far beyond strength. Wall sits naturally encourage proper spinal alignment, training your body to maintain an upright posture and reducing the strain on your lower back. They also stimulate circulation, counteracting the stagnation caused by hours of sitting at a desk. With improved blood flow comes not only healthier muscles, but also better oxygen delivery throughout the body, which can leave you feeling more energized.

On a deeper level, wall sits are as much a mental challenge as they are physical. The longer you hold, the more you confront discomfort and the urge to quit, which sharpens your mental resilience and discipline qualities that carry over into every aspect of life.

What’s even more impressive is the research: studies show that this single exercise can lower blood pressure more effectively than many aerobic or strength routines. And when practiced consistently, wall sits can improve mobility, stability, and posture in just a matter of weeks, making them one of the simplest yet most transformative additions you can make to your daily routine.

💜 Shine Night Walk – In Memory of Kate 💜

This September, I’ll be taking part in the Shine Night Walk — a full marathon through the night — alongside a group of friends, in memory of one of my closest friends, Kate.

Kate and I met during my very first osteopathy job — she was the practice manager, and we quickly became close. She was kind, full of life, endlessly supportive, and a brilliant friend. She sadly passed away from ovarian cancer last year, leaving behind her four amazing children.

Back in 2022, Kate completed the Moonwalk for Breast Cancer — long before her own cancer diagnosis. That’s one of the reasons we felt the Shine Walk would be such a fitting way to honour her memory.

I’m also walking in memory of two other remarkable women I’ve been lucky to know, both taken far too soon by cancer.

As a healthcare provider, I see firsthand how deeply cancer affects individuals and families — physically, emotionally, and beyond. We can’t bring those we’ve lost back, but we can walk in their honour and help fund research that brings hope to others.

1 in 2 people will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. Every single pound raised supports Cancer Research UK’s ground-breaking work.

And if not, a kind word or bit of encouragement means just as much 💜

In memory of Kate (and Ella & Sally too) In memory of the wonderful and much-loved Kate, a group of her friends (me included) are doing the nighttime Marathon Shine Walk. Kate herself took on the Moonwalk for Breast Cancer in 2022. Cancer is a bitch — and she should have had a whole life ahead of ...
