3. Wall Sits:
Looking for a simple yet effective exercise to burn your quads? Look no further than the wall sit! By targeting the muscles in the front of your thighs, this exercise is perfect for building isometric strength and endurance in your quadriceps, glutes, and calves.
Don’t let the simplicity of the wall sit fool you – it’s important to do it correctly. To ensure proper form, make sure you create a 90-degree angle at your hips and knees, keep your back flat against the wall, and keep your heels on the ground. You’ll feel a slight pulling sensation in your quads. Add the wall sit to your lower body routine today!
How to:
- Stand with your back against a wall, feet shoulder-width apart, and approximately 2 feet from the wall.
- Engage your abdominal muscles and slide your back down the wall until your thighs are parallel to the ground.
- Adjust your feet so that your knees are directly above your ankles and your back is flat against the wall.
- Hold this position for 20 to 60 seconds.
- Slide slowly back up the wall to a standing position.
- Rest for 30 seconds and repeat the exercise three times.
- Increase your hold time in five-second increments as you build strength.
