TRX Single Leg Squat

How to do it

  1. Face the suspension trainer anchor point and hold a handle in each hand with the straps set to roughly waist length.
  2. Lift one foot off the floor and extend it slightly forward, keeping the standing leg's hip stacked over the ankle.
  3. Bend the standing knee and hip to lower, using light tension on the straps for balance rather than pulling the body up.
  4. Descend until the standing thigh nears parallel, feeling the quadriceps and glutes of the standing leg control the depth.
  5. Drive through the standing foot to rise, keeping the core braced so the torso does not rotate.
  6. Exhale on the way up and complete all reps on one leg before switching to the other side.
