This marks the first post of this month’s series on stability ball exercises. The wall squat is a basic exercise that’s simple to perform and targets all the leg muscles. Just place a stability ball against the wall, while standing, lean against the ball so that it’s in the crook of your low back. You should be leaning at approximately a 20-25 degree angle, then simply bend your knees and perform a squat by lowering your butt towards the floor. You’ll feel this in your quads, your hamstrings, your glutes, and possibly even your calves. Perform 10-15 squats for one set of a great compound leg exercise.
