EXERCISE OF THE MONTH: APRIL.

Squat

SINGLE-LEG SQUAT

Benefits:
This move targets all muscles below the waist, including core, quadriceps, hamstrings and glutes.

How to do it:

  • Standing with your legs shoulder-width apart, extend your left leg straight out in front of you, making sure your muscles are tensed and foot’s flexed.
  • Extend your arms forward to counterbalance your body weight as you squat down with your right leg, pushing your body weight back as though you’re going to sit down into a chair and exhale as you lower down.
  • Keep your core engaged throughout to support your back. Inhale and return to the start position, repeating 15 times.
  • Swap legs and do 15 more reps.
