The importance of single-leg squat and movement teaching

Teaching single-leg squat

　　Squat is one of the best movements in the gym. It is the best choice for strengthening the lower limb muscles and improving core stability, and sports performance!

　　But when most people choose to conduct squat training, they focus on the movements of both legs, and ignore the equally important single-leg squat!

　　The advantages and necessity of single-leg squat!

　　1. Single-leg training can better help you improve balance, increase hip hip joint stability, and single-leg movements will challenge your core stability Qualitative, because of the support of one foot, you will need to mobilize more exercise units to maintain the stability of the arrangement of the trunk to prevent the rotation of the shoulders and hips.

　　　2. Single-leg training can balance the left and right muscles and develop the nervous system.

　　3. In life, in exercise, single-leg movement is a very important movement mode. Good single-leg exercise ability can make your life easier and more powerful on the sports field!

　　If your training menu does not contain single-leg movements, it is time to readjust!

　　Common movements that can be classified as single-leg squats include: Bulgarian squats, various squats, etc., which are all good choices!

　　In addition to these, today I will introduce a truly single-leg squat movement to you!

　　The following is a movement demonstration:

　　1. Stand with one foot, raise the other foot with a knee flexion. Maintain body stability and the spine is arranged naturally!

　　2. Bend hips and knees and squat with one leg until your thighs are parallel to the ground! Then get up and return to the starting position! 　　3. Change sides and continue after one-sided training.

　　This single-legged squat is more in line with the human body mode in the sports field (running and jumping) or in life, and is a very good action!

　　Training tips:

　　Make sure the spine is in a stable and neutral state during the movement, avoid bent over, scoliosis and rotation!

　　Knees and toes are on the same plane as the toes!

　　You can choose dumbbells, kettles, and barbells to perform the action. For trainers who are trying for the first time, it is recommended to do it with empty hands!
