Build Lower Body Endurance

Need to build endurance in your lower body? Try a wall squat. Stand with your back against a wall, with your feet shoulder-width apart in front of you. Slide down until your thighs are parallel to the floor and hold this position. Start by doing two sets of 20 seconds each, and try holding longer and performing more sets as you become stronger.


To make the exercise more challenging, try holding the squat at different angles to work the lower body in different ways. You can also add intensity by holding dumbbells or squeezing a ball between your knees.
