Introduction
Many people yearn to exercise but claim they lack the time. However, a simple and effective exercise requires nothing more than a wall, and as little as ten minutes a day. Known as the “wall sit” or wall squat, this is a form of isometric exercise–a type of static muscle contraction that, unlike dynamic movements, does not change muscle length or move joints. Recent research highlights wall sits as among the most effective exercises for reducing blood pressure, along with other unexpected health benefits.
