Vipr Squat Step

Video coming soon...

The vipr squat step workout is a targeted exercise that primarily engages the quads.

Using the vipr, this workout involves performing squats while stepping forward or backward.

The vipr adds resistance and instability, intensifying the quad engagement during the squat step exercise.

While the workout may also activate other muscles, its main focus is on the quads.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outward.
Hold the vipr with both hands in front of your body, palms facing down, and elbows slightly bent.
Engage your core and maintain a neutral spine throughout the exercise.
Bend your knees and lower your hips down and back, as if sitting into a chair.
Keep your chest lifted and your weight in your heels as you descend into a squat position.
Lower until your thighs are parallel to the floor, or as far as you can comfortably go.
Push through your heels and extend your hips and knees to return to the starting position.

Position the vipr on your shoulders, ensuring a secure grip with both hands. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned outwards, and maintain a strong core by engaging your abdominal muscles. This will provide a stable foundation for the exercise and help you maintain proper form throughout.
As you begin the squat step, initiate the movement by bending your knees and pushing your hips back, as if you were sitting back into an imaginary chair. Keep your chest lifted and your gaze forward to maintain a neutral spine. This will help you engage your quads and prevent undue stress on your lower back.
Lower your body down into a deep squat position, aiming to have your thighs parallel to the ground. Focus on keeping your weight evenly distributed on both feet, with your heels firmly planted on the ground. This will ensure maximum activation of your quads and help you build strength in this muscle group.
As you rise from the squat, drive through your heels and engage your quads to push your body back up to the starting position. Keep your knees aligned with your toes and avoid letting them collapse inward. This will help you maintain proper alignment and prevent any strain on your knees.
Throughout the exercise, remember to breathe deeply and rhythmically. Inhale as you lower into the squat and exhale as you push back up
