Stand with your back against a wall and with your feet about shoulder-width apart. Your feet should be about 12 inches away from the wall.
Put a ball about the size of a soccer ball between your knees. Then slowly slide down the wall until your knees are bent about 20 to 30 degrees.
Tighten your thigh muscles by squeezing the ball between your knees. Hold that position for about 10 seconds, then stop squeezing. Rest for up to 10 seconds between repetitions.
Repeat 8 to 12 times.
