Get strong by squatting

Ever know that you will get strong by squatting?

Yes, the answer is definitely.

So, get yourself familiarized with the exercise below.

-Stand about 1.5 feet away from a wall.
-Feet apart as wide as your hips.
-With your weight on your heels.
-Lean back slightly until your shoulders and upperback touch the wall.
-Now slowly lower yourself down (as if you were to sit on a chair),until your thighs are parallel with the ground or until your legs form a 90 degree angle.
-In the seated position, your back-from the shoulder blades to the lower rib cage should lightly rest agaist the wall.
-Hold this position as long as you can, stand back up and repeat.

Once you have mastered the form, kick it up a notch by adding resistance with hand weights.
