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.

  • 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.
