Suspension Trainer Squat

Video coming soon...

The suspension trainer squat workout is a highly effective exercise for targeting the quadriceps.

By utilizing the suspension trainer, the workout engages the quads to a greater extent than traditional squats.

The suspension trainer provides instability, forcing the quads to work harder for stability and balance.

While the workout also activates other muscles, its primary focus is on strengthening and toning the quads.

Stand facing the suspension trainer with your feet shoulder-width apart.
Hold the handles of the suspension trainer with an overhand grip, palms facing down.
Lean back slightly, keeping your arms straight and your body in a straight line from head to heels.
Lower your body by bending your knees and hips, as if sitting back into a chair.
Continue lowering until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or as far as you can comfortably go.
Push through your heels to return to the starting position, extending your knees and hips.
Repeat the squat exercise for the desired number of repetitions.

Start by adjusting the suspension trainer to a height that allows your feet to be shoulder-width apart, with the handles at chest level. This will ensure proper alignment and stability throughout the exercise.
Stand facing the anchor point, holding the handles with an overhand grip. Engage your core and keep your chest lifted as you slowly lower your body into a squat position, pushing your hips back and bending your knees. Imagine sitting back into an imaginary chair.
As you descend, focus on keeping your weight on your heels and your knees tracking in line with your toes. This will help activate your quadriceps, the muscles on the front of your thighs, and prevent excessive strain on your knees.
At the bottom of the squat, pause for a moment and then push through your heels to rise back up to the starting position. Keep your chest lifted and maintain control throughout the movement, avoiding any bouncing or jerking motions.
Remember to breathe throughout the exercise, inhaling as you lower down and exhaling as you push back up. Visualize the muscles in your quads working hard to power you through each repetition, and embrace the burn as a sign of progress and strength building.
