Secondary:Hamstrings, Glutes, Hip Muscles
Tertiary:Core
Stabilizer:Upper Back, Calves
📋 How to Perform
- Grasp suspension handles and momentarily step back until arms are extended forward and straight.
- While keeping arms straight and shoulders back, step forward so body reclines back behind suspension handles.
- Position body and legs straight at desired angle hanging from handles with arms straight. Balance on one leg with opposite leg extended forward off of ground.
- Squat down as far as possible while keeping leg elevated off of floor. Keep supporting knee pointed same direction as foot supporting.
- Raise body back, up to original position until knee and hip of supporting leg is straight.
- Repeat and continue with opposite leg.
⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Pulling hard on the straps to stand up, which turns the leg exercise into a row.
- Letting the working knee cave inward, which shifts stress to the inside of the knee.
- Letting the heel of the standing foot lift, which shifts weight to the toes and loads the knee.
