Airpad Split Squat

Video coming soon...

The airpad split squat is a challenging exercise that targets the quads and glutes.

By standing on the airpad, it creates an unstable surface, engaging the core for balance.

This workout primarily focuses on the quads and glutes, helping to build strength and stability.

While it may activate some auxiliary muscles, the main emphasis is on the quads and glutes.

Stand with your feet hip-width apart, facing away from the airpad.
Place the top of your left foot on the center of the airpad, keeping your right foot firmly on the ground.
Engage your core and maintain an upright posture throughout the exercise.
Slowly lower your body by bending your right knee, while keeping your left foot elevated on the airpad.
Lower yourself until your right thigh is parallel to the ground, or as low as you can comfortably go.
Pause briefly at the bottom, then push through your right heel to return to the starting position.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, then switch legs and perform the exercise with your right foot on the airpad.

Place the airpad on a stable surface and stand with one foot in front of the other, ensuring your feet are hip-width apart. This position will help you maintain balance and stability throughout the exercise.
With your core engaged and your chest lifted, slowly lower your back knee towards the ground, aiming for a 90-degree angle in both knees. Keep your front knee aligned with your ankle, and avoid letting it extend past your toes to prevent unnecessary strain on your joints.
As you descend, focus on pushing through your front heel to activate your quads and glutes. This will help you maintain control and stability while maximizing the engagement of these muscle groups.
Keep your upper body upright and avoid leaning forward or backward. Imagine a string pulling you up from the crown of your head, helping you maintain proper posture throughout the exercise.
Remember to breathe deeply and exhale as you push back up to the starting position. This will provide your muscles with the oxygen they need to perform optimally and help you maintain a steady rhythm throughout your sets.
