ISOMETRIC WALL SQUAT


TARGETED MUSCLES: LEGS (QUADRICEPS)


Stand with your back against a wall, placing your feet about two feet out in front of you. Feet should be hip-distance apart.

Bending your knees, slide your back down the wall until your knees are at 45 degree angles. 

Your knee joints should be over your ankle joints, so you may need to inch your feet further from the wall to create proper alignment. Your thighs should remain parallel.

Hold for 10 seconds, and then stand up. 

Repeat for a total of three reps.
