This five-move wall workout is a joint-friendly way to strengthen the knees and core

Four people exercising, in wall sit position holding orange resistance bands either in front of them or above their heads.

Wall workouts are an underrated way to build strength without putting too much pressure on the knees. Exercises done with the support of a wall are also a low-impact way to improve your balance and joint stability, which naturally declines as we get older.

When you sit with your back against the wall and your leg muscles under tension, you challenge the quads, glutes and calves, building lower-body strength that helps with functional, everyday movement. Quad strength in particular is important in avoiding knee injuries.
