Standing Wall Slide Squat Instructions

Positioning

1. Find a flat wall that you can lean against.
2. Stand with your back against the wall, feet shoulder-width apart, and about 1-2 feet away from the wall.
3. Your feet should be flat on the ground, and your toes should be pointing slightly outwards.

Movement

1. Starting Position: Keep your arms straight at your sides, or place them on your hips for balance.
2. Inhale and slowly slide your back down the wall by bending your knees.
3. Lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the ground (or as low as you can comfortably go).
4. Your knees should be directly above your ankles, not extending past your toes.
5. Hold this position for 10-30 seconds, engaging your core for stability.
6. Exhale and slowly push through your heels to slide back up the wall to the starting position.
7. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Tips

- Keep your head and shoulders relaxed against the wall.
- Maintain an upright torso throughout the movement.
- If you experience discomfort in your knees or back, adjust your position or consider a lesser range of motion.
