Written Instructions:
- Stand facing away from a stable bench/chair.
- Extend a leg back and place the top of the foot on the bench. The supporting leg will be the leg that is being strengthened.
- With the chest high and core engaged, squat down by flexing the knee and the hip of front leg. It’s important to make sure the bum sits back and that the knee doesn’t surpass the toes. Squat as far down as you can.
- It is also critical that the knee doesn’t dive inwards but that it stays in line with the second toe throughout this exercise.
- Repeat 10-12 reps on each leg, 2-3 sets, every other day.
