Overview

The half wall slide performed with dumbbells is a great way to develop strength in the legs and glutes. The half wall slide emphasizes the quadriceps. It can be performed as part of a lower-body workout or to improve performance for sport. A sturdy wall and pair of dumbbells is all that is required.

Description

• Hold the dumbbells in your hands.
• Lean against a wall with your feet placed 12 to 15 inches in front of you, and about hip-width apart.
• With your entire back against the wall, slide down until your lower thighs are nearly parallel to the ground.
• Carefully push back up to the start position.

Mistakes

• Rounding the back
• Buckling the knees inward
