Standing Wall Slide Half Squat
Back against a wall, slide down to a half squat and back up; the wall keeps the torso upright so the thighs do the work.
How to do it
Setup
Back and head against a wall, feet a step out from it, hip-width apart.
Steps
- Slide down the wall until the knees bend about halfway.
- Keep the back flat on the wall.
- Push the floor away to slide back up.
Common mistakes
Feet too close to the wall: the knees shoot past the toes; step them out. Back peeling off the wall: keep it flat. Sliding lower than half: that is a wall sit; stop halfway.
Breathing
Inhale sliding down, exhale sliding up.
