Exercise Description

The one leg bodyweight wall squat builds single-leg strength and balance while targeting your quads. It fixes muscle imbalances and makes you stronger on each leg.

How To

1. Stand arm's length from a wall, back facing the wall 2. Place your back against the wall and lift one leg off the ground in front of you 3. Keep your raised leg straight and slide down the wall into a one leg bodyweight wall squat position 4. Lower until your thigh is parallel to the ground, keeping all weight on your standing leg 5. Push through your heel to slide back up the wall to complete the one leg bodyweight wall squat

Form Tips

• Keep your back flat against the wall throughout the entire one leg bodyweight wall squat movement • Don't let your knee cave inward - track it over your toes • Keep your raised leg straight and avoid using it for balance during the one leg bodyweight wall squat • Control the movement both up and down - don't bounce at the bottom

Common Mistakes

• Letting the raised leg touch the ground or using it for support ruins the one leg bodyweight wall squat • Allowing your knee to collapse inward puts stress on your joint • Not going deep enough - you need to hit parallel for the full one leg bodyweight wall squat benefit
