Exercise Profile

Squat Foot Touch Overview

The Squat foot touch workout is a bodyweight exercise that primarily targets the quadriceps.

It involves performing squats while reaching down to touch the floor with one hand, alternating sides.

This workout effectively engages the quads by using bodyweight resistance, without putting excessive strain on secondary muscles.
