Exercise of the Week

Linear Split Squat

8/25: Purpose: The purpose of the movement is to initiate the glute activation in a deep lunge position and to learn the cyclical motion to keep movement moving.

 

 

Starting the linear squat you will need two disks or something that slides easily. Your starting position will be a lunge position either foot forward both glutes will be fired and knees in line with your hips and toes. Upper body should be straight up and down with no flexion in either direction and bellybutton pulled in towards the spine.

 

Initiate the movement with the forward foot glute and back foot hip flexor and quad. Movement should be fluid and body should stay straight up and down.

 

Once your feet are through the movement they should be opposite positions of what they started. You will then do the same movement recruiting with the other glute now. You can repeat the movement for a number of repetitions or for a certain amount of time.
