How to do One Leg Wall Squat

Stand with your back against a wall. Extend one leg straight or close to straight in front of you, while keeping the other foot flat on the ground. Slide down the wall, bending the standing leg, until the thigh is parallel to the floor. Hold.

Common mistakes

Avoid letting the knee of the standing leg extend past the toes. Ensure the back remains flat against the wall.

Breathing

Inhale as you slide down; exhale while holding the position. Maintain steady breathing throughout the hold.
