Wall Sit
If you resolved to find more time for fitness in 2012, this isometric, do-anywhere move suggested by Paris is perfect to perform while chatting on the phone, watching TV, or doing any activity that keeps you in one place for a couple of minutes. It’s equipment-free and strengthens your glutes, quads, and hips—important muscles for proper knee support.
Do It: Stand with your back flat against a wall. Your feet should be about 2 feet from the wall, shoulder-width apart. Slowly slide your back down the wall until your thighs are parallel to the floor and your knees are directly above your ankles (like you’re sitting in a chair). Hold the position for 30 seconds. Slide your back up the wall to return to standing. Repeat 3 more times, each time trying to hold the seated position for 5 to 10 seconds longer than before.
