Wall Squats






 

Wall Squats

[15 Minutes]

The benefits of exercise are both physical and psychological. Studies have shown that regular exercise helps reduce the risk of many diseases and at the same time helps promote a general sense of well-being and positive self-esteem. Try these wall squats to help tone quadriceps and glutes. All you need is a wall to lean against.


What to do:

  1. If possible, print out these directions. Read them through before you begin.
  2. Find a wall that you can lean against.
  3. Lean your back against the wall.
  4. Stand with your feet hip width apart.
  5. Bend your knees until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
  6. Remember, you do not want your knees to go over your toes. Make sure you step your feet far enough away from the wall so you can create 90 degree angle with your knees.
  7. Hold this position for 30 seconds.
  8. In the beginning, try this for three times, then increase your repetitions (number of squats).

Useful information:

My dad and I like to work out together. Part of our routine includes wall squats. I noticed that my legs are getting stronger; this will really help me ski better this winter. (Charlene, age 15)
