Suspension Single Leg Squat

Secondary Muscles

Equipment

1

Shift your weight onto one leg and extend the other leg out in front of you, keeping it off the ground.

2

Lower your body down into a squat position on your standing leg, ensuring your knee does not go beyond your toes and your back remains straight.

3

Use your glutes and thigh muscles to push yourself back up to the starting position, keeping your balance with the help of the suspension trainer.

4

Repeat the movement for your desired number of repetitions, then switch to the other leg and do the same.

Pro Tip

Activate Your Core: Keep your abdominal muscles engaged throughout the entire movement. This will help maintain balance and stability, and also protect your lower back. A common mistake is to let the core go slack, which can strain the back and reduce the effectiveness of the exercise. Control Your Movement: Perform the squat slowly and with control, both on the way down and on the way up. Avoid bouncing or using momentum to propel yourself up, as this can lead to injury and reduces the effectiveness of the exercise. Use Your Heels: Push up from your heels
