Elastics Squat Walk

Video coming soon...

The elastic squat walk workout is a great exercise for targeting the quads.

By placing the elastic band around the thighs, it adds resistance to the squat walk.

This engages the quads more intensely, making the exercise more challenging and effective.

While it may also work the glutes and hamstrings, the focus is primarily on the quads.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing forward.
Place an elastic band around your thighs, just above your knees.
Bend your knees and lower your hips down into a squat position, keeping your chest up and your back straight.
Engage your core muscles and push through your heels to stand back up, straightening your legs.
Take a step to the right with your right foot, maintaining the squat position.
Bring your left foot to meet your right foot, maintaining tension on the elastic band.
Continue stepping to the right for the desired number of repetitions, then repeat the exercise by stepping to the left.

Position your feet shoulder-width apart, with the elastics securely fastened just above your knees. This will ensure stability and proper alignment throughout the exercise, allowing your quads to be engaged effectively.
Initiate the movement by bending your knees and lowering your hips as if you were sitting back into an imaginary chair. Keep your back straight, chest lifted, and core engaged to maintain a strong posture. This will help activate your quads and prevent strain on your lower back.
As you descend into the squat position, focus on pushing your knees outward against the resistance of the elastics. This will intensify the engagement of your quads and help strengthen the muscles on the front of your thighs.
While maintaining tension in the elastics, push through your heels to rise back up to the starting position. This will ensure that your quads are doing the majority of the work during the exercise, rather than relying on your calves or other muscle groups.
Throughout the entire squat walk exercise, remember to breathe deeply and rhythmically. Inhale as you lower into the squat position and exhale as you rise back up. This will provide your muscles with a steady supply of oxygen, improving endurance and maximizing the benefits of the exercise.
