Build Leg Strength with Wall Squat Walk

Wall Squat Walk

Rep Range

8-20

Hints

Position yourself facing away from a wall, feet hip-width apart, and lean back so that your upper back and hips are pressed against the wall. Lower into a squat position with thighs parallel to the ground, maintaining a 90-degree angle at the knees or a littler higher. Keeping your back flat against the wall, start taking side steps, left and right. With each step, ensure both feet remain parallel, and your hips stay level.

Common Mistakes

Avoid letting the knees collapse inward or extend beyond the toes. It's essential to keep the back flat against the wall throughout the exercise. Ensure that your feet are flat on the ground, with weight distributed evenly, and avoid lifting the heels or toes.

Breathing

Inhale as you take a step to one side, and exhale as you bring the trailing leg in. Maintain a steady breath, ensuring you're not holding your breath as you move.
