Lower limb training: TRX single-leg squat

Whether it is for building muscles or functional aspects, the movement of a single-leg squat is more in line with our daily life model

Single-leg squat can help you train your quadriceps and take into account your hips, and it can also improve your coordination, balance, and core strength

Today we are going to introduce you to use TRX for single-leg squats!

Unlike the general squats that will place nearly 50% of the load on the back foot. Using TRX for single-leg squats, the back foot is only responsible for balance, and the front foot is carried. The weight is lowered. And the lightweight TRX makes you feel that it does not exist, achieving a real single-leg squat!

The following is a demonstration of movement:

You can use dumbbells and Huling to carry weights, adjust the TRX to about 30 cm from the ground!

Bending the knees at the back of the knees at the 90 degrees, and standing on one foot

The ground squat is controlled, and the hind legs that hook the collar extend backwards until the knee of the rear support leg approaches the ground and then stands up, pay attention to always stabilize the core Myocardial muscles and body straight,

When you squat down, you should feel the hip flexor muscles on the hind feet being stretched; when you move up, the belly is driven up through your front feet.

Strike distance: The distance of the hind legs should not be too long or too short. The greater the pressure on the quadriceps femoris, which may lead to excessive knee pressure.

On the other hand, you should not be too far, otherwise it may cause pain in the arched back, waist and hips.

Tip:

1. Beginners suggest You can try to save the weight, and then add dumbbells and other weight-bearing to train.

2. It is not recommended to lift the hind legs too high. The height behind your legs should be 20-30 cm, otherwise it will easily lead to excessive stretching of the lower back when squatting.

Remind you again: If the front side of your hind legs and the hip flexor muscles are extremely stretched or discomfort, please choose a lower height to perform it, so that your body can be in a comfortable position and then perform the movements.
