Exercise of the Week – Single Leg Squat

July 30, 2014 by Adria Ali Leave a Comment

 

Squats are a hard thing to master.  Single leg squats look difficult but it allows you to focus all your efforts onto one leg for maximum results.   You will definitely FEEL this exercise, that’s how effective it really is!   This will lift your butt, and strengthen your legs FAST!

Directions For Single Leg Squat 

A: Stand on your right leg and cross your left ankle over your right thigh. Your left knee should be open to the side.

B: Push your hips back and bend your right knee to lower into a squat. Press back up to standing.  Repeat the motion 15 on each side.

Trainer Tip: Always make sure you are pressing from your heal (not your toes)

Trainer Tip 2:   If you can’t balance on your own, feel free to do this next to a wall or while holding onto something.

For Fat Loss and Calorie Burning : 12 – 15 repetitions  / 3 – 4 sets challenging weight

For Muscle Gain: 6 – 10 repetitions  – 2 – 3 sets HEAVY WEIGHT

   DO this exercise 2 – 3 times a week for best results!!   If you are already doing squats then this single leg squat will take it up a notch.   If you aren’t then try starting with a regular (two leg squat) and progressing.
