Split Squat with Roll
The split squat with the rear foot's laces on a foam roller, which rolls back as you sink.
How to do it
Setup
Hands on the hips, the rear foot's laces on a foam roller behind.
Steps
- Sink as the roller rolls back.
- Keep the front knee over the ankle.
- Drive up, drawing the roller forward.
Common mistakes
Leaning back onto the roller: stay over the front leg. Front knee caving in: track it over the toes. Rolling too far back: stop where the front shin stays near vertical.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale driving up.
