Coach's Tips

This lower body exercise works both your thighs and glutes.

1. Adjust the Smith bar to shoulder height and place it on top of your trapezius.

2. Step one foot forward and the other foot back to create a split stance.

3. The front foot supports the entire sole, while the back foot supports on the toes.

1. With your upper body upright, bend both your front knee and back knee together and slowly lower yourself down.

2. After lowering until your back knee is close to the ground, push off the floor with the heel of your front foot to rise back up.

3. After repeating for the specified number of times, switch leg positions and perform on the opposite side as well.

Breathe in while going down, and breathe out while coming up.

1. Please adjust so that your front knee does not excessively go past your toes.

2. Since the bar moves in a straight line, it's good to test your foot position several times in advance.

3. If your balance is unstable, please reduce the weight first.
