Wall Squat

[greghutton]

A good exercise for building up leg strength quickly. Place your back firmly into a wall, with your legs at 90 degrees or more. Avoid coming down too low, as this puts excessive strain on your joints. Hold for as long as possible, however make sure you can get back up. A chair close by can be handy to help push you up. A variation of this exercise is to lower and rise without resting. Make sure your feet are firmly on the floor, as you may find that they slide forward. Your feet should be shoulder width apart, and can either face forward, or be pointing out at a 45-degree angle.

Boy Gandalf, I didn't know you were a hot chick! Why didn't you say so earlier?

I've heard of this exercise also called the wrestlers' chair.

Re: Wall Squat

We do a version of the wall squat with a Swiss Ball. Just place the ball against the wall and lean back on the ball. Wall squats are a very good beginning exercise.
