This exercise perfects and strengthens your thigh muscles and takes only minutes to perform. It looks easy, but you'll really feel it work your legs. No equipment is required except for a wall, making it a perfect exercise for when you are traveling.
Positioning
Stand with your back against the wall and place your feet about shoulder-width apart. Keep your weight on your heels as if you were about to sit on a chair. Keep your back pressed into the wall for support.
The Move
Bend your knees, keeping your core muscles tight. Lower your body so that your thighs are just parallel to the floor. Keep your back pressed into the wall. Hold this position for as long as you can, up to 1 minute. Rest, then repeat.
Advanced Tip
Work on increasing the time you can maintain the squat position. Try this exercise with a partner and see who can hold the position the longest!
