Suspension Trainer Single Leg Squat

Video coming soon...

The suspension trainer single leg squat is a challenging exercise that primarily targets the quadriceps.

By using the suspension trainer, the workout adds instability, forcing the quads to work harder for stability.

The suspension trainer also allows for a greater range of motion, increasing the intensity of the exercise.

While other muscles such as the glutes and hamstrings are engaged, the focus remains on the quads.

Stand facing the suspension trainer with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Hold onto the handles of the suspension trainer with an overhand grip.
Extend your arms straight out in front of you, keeping your shoulders down and back.
Shift your weight onto your left leg, lifting your right foot off the ground.
Bend your left knee and lower your body down into a squat, keeping your chest lifted and your back straight.
Lower yourself until your left thigh is parallel to the ground, or as low as you can comfortably go.
Push through your left heel to stand back up, straightening your left leg and returning to the starting position.

Start by adjusting the suspension trainer to a height that allows your arms to be fully extended when holding the handles, ensuring a stable base for the exercise.
Stand facing away from the anchor point, with one foot slightly in front of the other, maintaining a hip-width distance between your feet.
Engage your core and maintain a tall posture throughout the exercise, focusing on keeping your chest lifted and shoulders back.
As you lower into the squat, shift your weight onto the heel of the front foot, keeping your knee aligned with your toes to effectively target your quads.
Push through the heel of your front foot to rise back up, squeezing your quads at the top of the movement for an extra burn. Remember to breathe steadily and maintain control throughout the exercise.
