Suspension Trainer Sumo Squat Tips

  1. Start by adjusting the suspension trainer straps to a length that allows your feet to be shoulder-width apart, ensuring a stable base for the Sumo squat exercise.
  2. Stand facing the anchor point, holding the handles with an overhand grip, and engage your core muscles to maintain a straight and tall posture throughout the movement.
  3. As you lower your body into the squat position, focus on pushing your hips back and down, keeping your knees in line with your toes to activate your quadriceps effectively.
  4. Ensure that your weight is evenly distributed between both feet, allowing your heels to remain grounded and your glutes to be engaged, providing stability and power during the exercise.
  5. As you rise back up to the starting position, exhale and squeeze your quadriceps, emphasizing the contraction in your thighs, and maintain control over the movement to maximize the benefits of the Sumo squat exercise.
