TG WellBeing Members take your leg day to the next level with the Pendulum Squat!π₯ This exercise is a game-changer for building lower body strength and stability. π¦΅π₯
The Pendulum Squat is a variation of the traditional squat that targets your quads, hamstrings, and glutes, while also engaging your core. The difference lies in the movement pattern, as youβll be leaning slightly forward throughout the exercise, which places more emphasis on your quadriceps muscles. πͺ
To perform the Pendulum Squat:
1οΈβ£ Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and toes slightly turned out.
2οΈβ£ Hold a barbell across your upper back, resting it on your shoulders.
3οΈβ£ Take a step forward with one foot, allowing your body to lean slightly forward.
4οΈβ£ Bend your knees and lower your body down into a squat, keeping your back straight and chest up.
5οΈβ£ Push through your heels to return to the starting position.
Remember, itβs important to maintain proper form throughout the exercise. Keep your knees aligned with your toes, and avoid letting them collapse inward. Start with lighter weights and gradually increase as you become more comfortable with the movement.
