Description: | Place a dowel (or chair/wall) on the side of the leg that is in the air to act as a self spotter if required. Squat downward on one leg allowing the opposite leg to drift backwards while maintaining a neutral spine and a strong core. Try to reach a 90 degree knee bend in the squatting leg before returning to the top. A slight forward lean (and therefore additional gluteal contraction) in order to maintain balance is allowed. Active quads, gluts, the core and ankle stabilizers during the movement. | ||
Common Error(s): | Foot/ankle collapse | Valgus knees | Not engaging core | ||
Spotting: | Instability training |
