Stark Performance Physical Therapy

Want to completely change a wall squat? 👀

A simple change in foot position can completely change what muscles you’re challenging.

Lift your heels and you’ll usually feel a lot more work through your quads, making it a great option for building quad endurance and finishing off a tough leg workout.

Lift your toes and you’ll often feel more work through your glutes and hamstrings while challenging lower-body control in a different way.

Neither variation is better.

They’re simply different tools that can be used to target different muscle groups and training goals.

At Stark Performance Physical Therapy in Pensacola, we often use exercise variations like these to help active adults and athletes improve strength, performance, and resilience without needing additional equipment.

Try both versions:
🔥 30-60 second holds
🔥 2-3 rounds

Then tell us:

Which variation creates the bigger burn for you—the quad-focused heel-elevated wall squat or the glute-focused toe-elevated wall squat? 👇
