Single-Leg Squat Touchdown
Body Part: Quadriceps, Glutes, Groin
Equipment: None
Difficulty: Advanced
Description
Step 1: Stand tall with your feet hip to shoulder width apart and toes pointing straight ahead. Draw in the abs.
Step 2: Lift one leg directly beside the support leg. Slowly squat like you are sitting in a chair while reaching the hand opposite of the balance leg toward the toes of the opposite foot.
Step 3: Reverse the pattern and return to the starting position. Maintain.
Step 4: Repeat. Maintain posture throughout. Avoid slouching or excessively arching the back, letting the shoulder roll forward, heel lifting off the ground or knee collapsing inward.
