Continuing with our home exercise series, today’s post is a compound leg exercise using nothing more than a wall. Begin by leaning your back against the wall and then walk your feet away, lowering your bottom as if you were going to sit in a chair. Your hips as well as your knees should be at about 90 degrees. Now simply hold this position. This is considered an isometric exercise, begin by holding for 30 seconds and try to work your way up to a full minute. You’ll feel this in your hamstrings, your quadriceps, as well as your glutes. Very simple, yet effective.
