The Wall Sit for Quad Strength

The wall sit exercise is a quad builder that is typically used for building isometric strength and endurance in the quadriceps muscle group, glutes and calves.

This exercise is a good way to  gradually build leg strength for downhill skiing. Although the exercise does isolate the quads and may help you to stay tucked longer without quad fatigue, the wall sit exercise should be used in combination with other quad strengthening exercises, such as the walking lunge or some basic plyometrics if ski conditioning is your goal.
