Drill: Wall Sits

This is a great static position drill used by many athletes during practices. This exercise is great for your quadriceps and hamstrings. Leg strength is important to being a good athlete and can prevent many injuries. Its good for helping your mechanics in basketball because your shot comes from a lot of the power used from your legs.

  1. Stand in front of a wall (about 2 feet in front of it) and lean against it.
  2. Slide down until your knees are at about 90-degree angles and hold, keeping the abdominal muscles contracted for 30 seconds.
  3. Come back to start and repeat Do this 2 to 4 times with a 60 second break in between. After a few weeks you can make it more challenging by holding it for longer intervals with a shorter rest time in between.
  4. To add intensity, hold weights or squeeze a ball between the knees.
