Single Leg Squat Pallof
Is this for yourself or for a patient?
- HOW: Start out anchoring a band and holding the opposite end with both arms and have some tension on it. Shift your weight to the leg leg closest to the anchor. Engage your core and do not let the band pull you in as you perform a single leg squat by bending your knee and slightly hinging forward at the waist. Go as low as you can comfortably go, push into the ground and return to the starting position.
- FEEL: You should feel your hamstrings, quadriceps, and glute muscles mostly working during the squat.
- COMPENSATION: Don’t let the band pull you towards the anchor.
