3 Variations of the Wall Squat

Join Marzia Prince, Healthy Housewife, fitness trainer, and core cruncher, as she walks you through a couple versions of a wall squat. Follow her lead as you lean and slide down the wall into a good 90 degree angle, or as close as you can get to it. This is a great exercise after squats or lunges or even in the middle of your day to break up your work day. It can be done anywhere you have access to a wall. Let gravity and your weight tighten you stomach as you draw your belly button in toward your spine. You'll be engaging your quads, hamstrings, glutes, hip flexors, and core to tone them all. Want to make it more advanced, try holding a medicine ball and/or lifting your feet and legs. Time yourself and push yourself to do more each time. Your legs and abs may scream at you at first as they start burning, but they will thank you later.
