Exercise of the week: isometric squat against wall

Awesome for toning the thighs and creating definition, the isometric squat against a wall is a very good exercise. The quadriceps and gluteus muscles have to contract to hold your body weight in a seated position with nothing other than a wall to lean on. This means that these muscles are placed under a lot of tension, burning a lot of calories and toning up at the same time. Leaning against a wall, slide down until you are in a squat position. Make sure your whole back is against the wall and that both your knees and your hips are bent to 90' to each other. It is as though you are about to take a seat, except obviously no chair to rest on! Give this exercise a go even though it is hard...the rewards of great toned thighs are well worth the effort!!
