Step 2
Next, bend the knees as you move into a squat until your knees are at a 90 degree angle – your back should stay pressed against the wall at all times.
Hold this position for 15 seconds and then come back up to start. Rest for 30 seconds and then repeat one more time through.
Want to extend the challenge?
Perform this move for two sets of 20 second holds on Tuesday and two sets of 30 second holds on Thursday.
