Legs Up The Wall

Hamstrings · Lower back · Calves · Bodyweight

How to do it

  1. Sit side-on to a wall. Lie back and swing both legs up so they rest against the wall.
  2. Bring your glutes close to the wall. A small gap is fine if your hamstrings are tight.
  3. Let your legs rest straight and relaxed. Put your arms open by your sides, palms up.
  4. Breathe slowly through the nose. Hold this position for 3 to 5 minutes.
  5. To exit, bend your knees, roll onto one side, and sit up slowly.
