Move-it MOM Move: Wall Sit with Calf Raises
From our FitWoMOM Instructor: Hilary Storey
As Moms, we rarely get a minute to sit down throughout the day. This exercise gives you the opportunity to “take a seat”.
Get into a wall sit, keeping your shoulder blades down, back, and up against the wall. Park those legs into a 90 degree angle and “take a seat”. Don’t forget
to engage your core while pulling your belly button back in towards your spin. Breathe and get comfortable. Hold this position for 1 minute.
Want to take it up a notch? Alternate your left and right heel off the ground for 30 seconds into your 1 minute set. Make sure you keep your
shoulders and booty up against that wall. Repeat each set for a total of 3 sets, or 3 minutes total. It may not be the break you were looking for, but your quadriceps and calf muscles will thank you!
